Running a PHP mail script on Linux which has Exchange as the mail
server.
The script does not send mail to any internal email address but sends
it to any other address outside its domain!
Can somebody please help...

Thanks

If the message is not delivered, it is probably being rejected and you
should get a bounce in the return address.

If you do not get a bounce, maybe your Linux server is still retrying
and the message is trapped in a queue.

To analyse your problem and have a quick answer to what it can be, you
may want to try this class that comes with a wrapper function named
smtp_mail(). It emulates the mail() function so you can replace it
without further changes.

You just need to set it to direct delivery mode, so it tries to send to
your Exchange server immediately instead of leaving in your local queue.

If the message is rejected, you will get a self-explanatory error
message that can tell you what is going on.
