PHP mail() function in chroot

On my webserver the web components are seperated into a chroot jail so
it cannot access any of the mail (courier-mta) components. Does anyone
know of a way to change how mail() functions? i.e. have it connect to an
smtp server, rather than try to refrence the sendmail binary? Any help
would be greatly appreciated! thanks.

Hi all, Because of a chroot jail a web site that I'm working on is in (I don't know much about the jail stuff), I can't use sendmail to send email through a PHP script. The sys admin said he's put a copy of the basic unix mail into the jail that I can use. Now I assume I can use this by just doing a shell_exec, but for some reason, I get no result out of it. If I run mail at command line (without the variable names), it works great.

Is it Possable to build a chroot() like function using the abID and ITEMIDLIST structures, wherein the context in which a process runs ( this includes boundries to inter process communication )can't be reversed. Once you have executed one of the system calls (chroot or some new new_sys_context {namespace} ),the process can't get back from this jail? This would need to affect the current process and all its child processes. I am...

I've spent a couple of days on this and I'm to the "bang-my-head 'gainst the monitor and babble in tongues" mode. First - SuSE Pro 9.3, Linux 2.6.11.4-21.7, Apache 2.0.53, PHP 4.3.10 I have sendmail running on the local server - mail from unix (1) mail and mutt work locally on the server. This is, specifically, sending mail to a localhost user or another user off on the net somewhere works fine.

Hello! I'm writing a small script and I need to call the os.chroot function. The problem is, a few lines below I need to call a program in /usr/bin. Is there a way to exit from the chroot, or to limit the chroot to a single function or thread? Thanks in advance
