We're installing a new server at the office and this will be the first
server we set up from which we host our website. We got tired of
dealing with Interland and decided to bring our hosting in-house. The
guy doing most of the work struggled with sendmail for awhile and then
gave up. Now he's installing Postit, or Postfix, or whatever it's
called.
Does the PHP mail function depend on sendmail, or can it use any mta
software?

Under Unix-a-likes, mail() relies on there being a sendmail-like
interface. Most MTAs have a program that looks like sendmail for these
purposes, and usually it gets symlinked into the right place. You don't
need genuine sendmail.
Under Windows PHP does SMTP itself.

We're running Red Hat 9 on the server. So we need to do into the PHP
config file and set a path to whatever MTA we eventually get going?
I have the EXACT same problem except it's on an upgrade from 7.3 to 9
and now mail() does not work. It has the symlink
sendmail->/etc/alternatives/mta but it won't send out a single email.
Please let me know if you find a solution to this. You can email me at er******@yahoo. com If I get a solution I will post it here. I think we
are not the only ones with this problem.

Seems like he finally got it to work, though it took him hell's own
amount of time. I'll ask what he did. Did you get your problem
resolved? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I believe this question has been asked before, but I haven't found the
solution to it.
I've given up on the php mail() function (doesn't work fast enough for
sending large amounts of HTML mails).
Instead, I'd like to throw all my mails into the mail queue. I'm running
sendmail on freeBSD and imagine that I should be able to use the exec()
command.

How did SuSE disable the mail() function in their RPM'd version of PHP?
( This is their install-version of PHP with RPMs not what you download
from PHP.net )
I have an application that emails people a message, and now having installed
my PHP application on my customer's machine it doesn't work, giving an error
message that the mail() function is not defined.

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

I cut a mail function off the m'soft site. Has always worked. However,
I would like to include error codes returned by the sendmail Fn and
be able to understand what they mean. I had my first occasion to
experience a failure and got a code of 2??? Would like to know
just what that means.
Here's how I call the fn...
Result = SendMail((F!Subject), (F!To), (F!CC), (F!Attach),
(F!Message))

I need to know if an email was refused for whatever reason, it makes
no difference.
The email is sent to an email address that does not exist in a foreign
domain. I can see in the postfix log that the email was sent and
bounced with the error code 550.
The problem is that sendmail should throw an exception but it does
not. And the returned dictionary is empty as if the email was
accepted.
