RE: [PHP] I cannot use mail() ?!?
Outgoing email requires access to a SMTP client or relay. To prevent these relays from being used for SPAM, most shops will restrict which IP's can use the relay. Suggest you contact the administrators of your exchange server, and make sure the IP is on the list of eligible IP's for using the relay, or install the smtp client software on your RedHat machine. Another concern would be access to DNS serving the domains you intend to send mail to. Your SMTP client will need have access a good dns. Key question, are you attempting to send email thru a firewall? Unless you get the an ok for that, you may find your ability to send email limited to within the domain. just a few ideas, Warren Vail Tools, Metrics Quality Processes -Original Message- From: Aaron Paxson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 12:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] I cannot use mail() ?!?

Re: [PHP] I cannot use mail() ?!?
Excellent ideas Warren!! Being the IT Systems Administrator, I administrate everything from the firewalls to the exchange/DNS servers. Everything seems to be okay there. In doing another test, I was able to send out an email via my SMTP server to other domains, just not to me. It apparently did not use the sendmail_from setting since the email says root. I'll look at that issue later grin You are correct, that I am set to not be a relay. However, there is no relaying involved, since it is coming from within my own domain. Also, the KDE environment works just fine with SMTP messaging, just not PHP. I'm wondering if I'm missing something. I'm fairly new to PHP. Maybe my settings? I just compiled PHP, Apache, and MySql just last week. Thanks for the response!!! Aaron Warren Vail [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

Re: [PHP] I cannot use mail() ?!?
That is what I had orginally thought. However, in an article I found about mail(), he said it will also work on a linux box that does not have sendmail configured. If that's the case, how do I get sendmail to work with Exchange?? sendmail newbie Aaron Jason Wong [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

In my experience, if php does not find sendmail when it is configured and compiled, mail() would not work. You would get an error message like: PHP Warning: mail() is not supported in this PHP build ... To see whether this is the case in your situation check your php log file (make sure you've set php to report ALL errors). If that's the case, how do I get sendmail to work with Exchange?? sendmail newbie How do you mean by 'work with Exchange' ? If sendmail was configured properly, it would send mail to anywhere you tell it to. Does your sendmail installation work at all? That is have you tested it outside of PHP? -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * /* Graduate life: It's not just a job.
