php.ini & SMTP= - how do you pass username & password

After working all day on this, I finally found a solution. Here's how I send from Windows XP with WAMP.

1. Use Google's SMTP server. You probably need an account.
2. Download and install Fake Sendmail. I just downloaded it, unzipped it and put it in the WAMP folder.
3. Create a test PHP file. See below.

<?php
    $message = "test message body";
    $result = mail('recipient@some-domain.com', 'message subject', $message);
    echo "result: $result";
?>

4. Update your php.ini file and your sendmail.ini file (sendmail.ini is in the sendmail folder).
5. Check the error.log file in the sendmail folder that you just created if it doesn't work.
