but the email never arrives or is it sent?

Hi Paul,
It looks like you need to add quotes around the items in the mail function
even though they're variables.
This works for me, I receive an email when someone contacts me from a web
form:
mail ("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "Contact the web master",
"$message_body", "From: {$_POST['email']}");
Try a simple one (see below), then add variables:
mail ("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "Test Title", "Test Message", "From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]");

Subject: [nyphp-talk] Setting up outgoing mail using Linux
Can anybody help?
I am having problems trying to send automated emails using Linux,
typically
order confirmation emails. I don't know how it is set-up and according to
the manual I read it said "for unix only. You may supply arguments as
well
(default: 'sendmail -t -i). sendmail_path = sendmail -t -i;
This didn't not work. I use 1and1 and they have setup the sendmail and I
found the sendmail path is /usr/sbin/sendmail
so I set sendmail_path = '/usr/sbin/sendmail -i -t'; This doesn't work
either - below is the snippet of code.
================================================================
$headers = 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
sendmail_path = '/usr/sbin/sendmail -i -t';
$date = date("Y-m-d");
$to = "$email1";
$subject = "Your Account Number";
$message = "Thank you for choosing HANWELL PRODUCTS
PLEASE MAKE A CAREFUL NOTE OF THIS INFORMATION AS WITHOUT IT YOU WILL NOT
BE
ABLE ACCESS YOUR HANWELL PRODUCTS ACCOUNT
Your USER-ID is : $userid
Your PASSWORD is : $passcode
Your ACCOUNT is : $account
This Email was sent on : $account_date
";
$from = "FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
echo "The email was sent : $date ";
mail ($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
Can anybody show me what I am doing wrong?
Paul
