Re: [PHP] Sendmail, I've had enough of it!
I had suffered a little bit with sendmail myself last week. It took me some reading, and I got it working the second day.

RE: [PHP] Sendmail, I've had enough of it!
Go with QMAIL Lots of support (mailing lists, web-sites). Several books written on it. Easier to set-up than sendmail. Very configurable.

Re: [PHP] Sendmail, I've had enough of it!
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!
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? - Original Message - From: Rick Emery [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Liam MacKenzie' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 2:04 AM Subject: RE: [PHP] Sendmail, I've had enough of it! 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. -Original Message- From: Liam MacKenzie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 5:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Sendmail, I've had enough of it!
