actually I don't mind it - especially as I'm not on the apache or
fedora lists ;-)

and with regard to sending out emails I find using a connection with
an SMTP server (local or not) is alot less hassle with regard to bounces
and stuff (like the problem you were/are having) than using sendmail - not
necessarily because an smtp service is better but because it means that usually
someone has already done the nitty-gritty mail server config stuff that sees to
it that mail gets reliably delivered!

and phpmailer - thats also be known to help me from myself (when it comes to
make a pig's ear of using the mail() function) - 3 cheers for Richard Heyes
(you just know a class rocks when you can actually name the author by heart! :-).
