Are you still observing that error?
[removed a bunch of old posting]
Ashley, you quotefucker :-)
Well, I'm not compiling from the source now, I went back to trying to
use the Fedora repositories (which was the only reason I ended up trying
to compile from source in the first place)
If I'm not mistaken php had to be compiled with "--with-apxs" to use
modules in Apache, did you do that?
Regarding the PHPmyAdmin, did you try to give the root user a password?
Maybe it's a security feature in PHPmyAdmin. I don't know, havent been
using that system since 1999 due to the terrrible handling of "" and
null values, which caused severe trouble in an ISP i worked for before
we figured out what was going on + i LOVE the tab completion in the
MySQL commandline tool

That is what was done, but I wanted to know if there was already some
agreed-upon language.

I found the mail server for my ISP (shawmail.vc.shawcable.net) and
edited main.cf in the following manner:
myhostname = shawcable.net
relayhost = [shawmail.vc.shawcable.net]
I still don't receive the mail from the PHP script though. The error
log from /var/log/mail.log is this:

Have I edited main.cf incorrectly, or are there other values that need
to be edited?
Cheers

i never worked with postfix, but form my experience with hmail server
i can say that you need to relay through a mail account of ISP(not the
server itself)

1. Not sure why you have square brackets around the relayhost value.
2. You're getting a bounce from the ISP's mail server, one indicating it
still won't allow relay.
3. I suspect the relayhost name is wrong. This may be the name you find
in the mail headers on messages relayed to you, but I doubt it's the one
you should use to post to. I could be wrong, though.
4. All due respect to Kranthi, but I believe he's wrong about relaying
mail from your webserver to the ISP's mailserver. I believe the ISP's
mailserver doesn't care, as long as the mail comes from your "pipe". You
could probably call yourself "pi...@pepperoni.com" and your ISP would
accept it. It's just the From:. Again, I could be wrong.
5. This would be a lot simpler if you just call Shaw and ask them for
the name of the mailserver, and ask them if it's a problem for you to
post mail from your internal webserver to their mailserver. Then ask
them why such posts might bounce with a 5XX error.

I think you missed my words about resolving the matter, when you were

Thanks, that explained the www-data user
