I just installed to a new server and am trying to iron out certain
bugs.
Right now I have a problem with the mail function. I always get a
FALSE return value when I call the mail function.
This same code was working on my old server.
I've done research and spent hours trying to figure out why it won't
work to no avail. Here's what I know:
1. No errors are appearing in the PHP error log
2. The sendmail path is properly configured in php.ini
3. If I use the exec function to manually call sendmail it works
4. My PHP version is 4.3.10
What else do you need to know to help me?
Any and all sane suggestions appreciated.

It looks like sendmail accepts the message as valid but can't send
it for some reason. Try to check sendmail's logs.

Is it local server?
If so - have you reconfigured php.ini?
Make sure you have access to smtp mail server.

Thanks to all for your replies so far.
I should add that the e-mail is not being sent. The mail function
returns false and no e-mail is received at the receiving mailbox.
My web server and mail server are on the same machine. On my old
server I was running sendmail, but now I'm running Postfix with the
sendmail wrapper. I doubt this has anything to do with it but you
never know. I've observed more stupid things before.
As I mentioned, as far as I can tell (and I've check and re-checked
multiple times) configuration is correct across all configuration files
(Apache2, PHP, Postfix, etc.)
I was hoping a g00r00 who has been through this before would find my
plea and take pity on me.
I'll do some further investigating (including checking the Postfix
logs) and post an update.

Ok, I figured it out. It was a simple fix: all the work was in
figuring out what was wrong :(
My /var/log/mail.err file was showing thus:
Jan 19 10:54:47 vintagetech postfix/sendmail[15252]: fatal: Recipient
addresses must be specified on the command line or via the -t option
In your php.ini configuration file, make sure the sendmail command has
the proper options specified (and check to make sure the path is
correct while you're at it):
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail
-t -i").
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
(Remember to restart Apache once you've made any configuration
changes.)
The standard SuSE install for some reason did not set up this item
correctly (I had to add the command line options "-t -i").
Everything works...hooray!
Now I have to see about this e-mail injection issue. Judging from my
log, it looks like the fucking spammers have found me >:(

Hi,
I have just uploaded an older PHP project I have written by myself up to my
new webserver. On this server PHP is running in version 4.3.2 and this seems
to result in some trouble, since the project worked out pretty fine some
weeks ago under PHP 4.2.3 (I think).
My suggestion is that it has to do sth. with sessionhandling, but I am not
sure.
I don't think that the DB connection is responsible for the problems and I

I am having lots of trouble with the mail function!
I simply send a confirmation email to someone who has registered on my

Can someone tell me what type of content I should put in the email to get
around the filter? All my content is so far is a thanks for registering
message - and a link for them to confirm their email address.

Hi All,
I'm experiencing problems with sending mail using mail() to forwarded
email accounts. The problem seems to revolve around the optional 4th
argument of mail(), namely 'additional headers'.
It seems that when I populate this 4th argument of mail(), any emails
sent to an email forwarding service email address (ukreg/fasthosts
actually) fail to reach their destination. Direct email addresses seem
to work fine.
