Uh, John, note the "for win32 only" in your reply, then note the "RH7.0" in the question.
Alex, the real answer is to just turn your sendmail into a SMTP passthrough. It is dead simple to do. Locate your sendmail.cf file. (Yeah, I can already hear the screams of anguish, but this file isn't actually all that bad) Now find the line that starts with "DS" and change it so it says: DSmail.mindspring.com for example. Then restart your sendmail. And now hocus-pocus-presto-shazzam, your sendmail suddenly works great for all your apps, not just PHP. -Rasmus On Fri, 3 May 2002, John Holmes wrote: > >From php.ini: > > [mail function] > SMTP = localhost ;for > win32 only > sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ;for win32 only > ;sendmail_path = > > Enter the name of your SMTP server on the first line, instead of > localhost.
