Re: [PHP] note to PHP developers
On a side note, qmail has a wrapper that pretends to be sendmail. You can overwrite the /bin/mail with it and it will behave and accept mail just like sendmail, but send it through qmail-smtp.

Mostly, people having this problem don't have sendmail installed. It would seem that PHP's mail() function was written around sendmail. Is there a way to resolve this, with either configuration flags or by re-writing the mail() function install to look for alternative MTAs??? Just thought I would point it out. My solution: - OS RH 7.1 w/Sendmail install - installed PHP 4.x - removed Sendmail - installed Qmail - changed php.ini path - qmail path --- Michael Geier CDM Sports, Inc. - Systems Administrator email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: 314.991.1511 x 6505 pager: 314.318.9414 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP] note to PHP developers
Me too. I've never had a problem with Postfix. It just dropped in in Sendmail's place and has worked wonderfully ever since. Great piece of software.

I was led to believe Postfix is what Qmail evolved into?

RE: [PHP] note to PHP developers
No, they're two seperate things. In addition to being incredibly easy to install and configure, Postfix can be made fairly secure and it has a better (=more 'open') license of some kind.
