Re: [PHP] Sendmail, I've had enough of it!

2002-02-22 Thread Anas Mughal

I had suffered a little bit with sendmail myself last
week. It took me some reading, and I got it working
the second day.

Here is a useful link:
http://www.samag.com/documents/s=1168/sam0002f/0002f.htm

Also, check out the book titled Essential System
Administration.

That should be all you need -- if you decide to setup
sendmail... :)

 I have eXtremail installed locally.  It's a
 POP3/SMTP

 There's 3 configuration options in php.ini that I've

 I've read everything relevant on php.net and still

 Thanks s much for all your help!

Go with QMAIL

Lots of support (mailing lists, web-sites).  Several books written on it.
Easier to set-up than sendmail. Very configurable.
Written by same gent that wrote ezmlm mailing list application (ezmlm
handles the PHP mailing lists).

Re: [PHP] Sendmail, I've had enough of it!

2002-02-22 Thread James Taylor

Ha, I shouldn't even bother posting this as it's pretty irrelevant for this 
list but...

forget qmail, go with Postfix :)  Qmail doesn't have one centralized config 
file, and it gets annoying having to edit this one, then this one, then make 
this file, etc.

Plus, I usually try to avoid Dan Bernstein projects!

Re: [PHP] Sendmail, I've had enough of it!

2002-02-18 Thread Liam MacKenzie

www.extremail.com
Best MTA out there!
Join the mailing list too, it's pretty funny at times.

Yeah, with the SMTP thing, I think that because I'm
using Linux, PHP defaults to Sendmail.  In my php.in
I've got the following...

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well.
; sendmail_path = /home/eXtremail/bin/smtpd

All my mail just disappears into mid air now!
Well, all mail coming from my site anyway!

Any Ideas?

 Liam,

 I, too, am trying to set-up sendmail on my RH 7.0 Linux.  I can't even get
 the damned daemon to start.  So, I'm going to try your eXtrememail
 application.  I may try smail as well, but I have to compile ti
first...ugh.

 As for using SMTP under PHP, you should be able to use the mail()
function:
 mail(receiver,subject,message,headers);

 where receiver is the receipien'ts email address.
