mail() function returns FALSE

Hi All,

I'm having trouble getting sendmail to behave with the php mail() function. The function is returning FALSE. Today it doesn't seem to want to allow mail entered via unix "mail" command either although that worked yesterday (the mail took about an hour to show up!)

I suspect it is to do with permissioning. Please can someone show me what permissions to check?

sendmail is running as root, httpd as user www.

OS is OpenBSD3.3.

phpinfo() shows sendmail_from to have no value. Does that matter?

Thanks in advance.

--
regards
Gary
