Hey everyone,

We've got FreeBSD 5.3, with Sendmail running. All we want to do is to
get sendmail to send emails to another server for actual outbound
email. We've got a very basic php script which utilizes the mail()
function, but for some reason, sendmail is never getting the command
from PHP.

So, we can successfully send email using sendmail from the command
prompt, but when it comes to using the PHP mail() function, nothing
happens. Not even an error message from PHP.

We have in our php.ini a direct path all the way to sendmail
configured. I'm at a loss as to why PHP mail() isn't even spitting
back an error. The maillog shows nothing from PHP.

Are there any variables, extensions that need to be compiled, etc to
make mail() work?

Thanks!!
