Apologies if this has been covered before - please slap me and point me in
the right direction if so - I've limited experience of PHP so possibly
missed something obvious

System is a Fedora core 5 system with Apache, PHP 5.1.4 and sendmail 8.13,
more or less a clean install. Sendmail has been configured to point to my
ISP provider, masqerade mail and send via them. This works fine, mail comes
through with the correct headers if I invoke mail from the linux command
prompt.

Cannot get mailing functions from Wordpress 2.2 working. Looking through
the code, I see it uses mail()

Trying a real simple example like this...

<? phpinfo();
mail('mail@myaddress.com','test','message'); ?>

also fails to work - the php info page is put up as expected but no bounced
mail, no mail comething through, nothing. Is this the correct way of doing
things - should mail be coming through with the code above? php.ini appears
to be set up correctly to point to seendmail - has the right path, has r-x
permission on the binary etc.

Thanks in advace.

Chris.
