I have asked my provider and they replied that some of their FAQs are out of
date and/or are no longer supported and that Level1 support would be happy
to help but they are not trained in scripting languages. I have already
asked if there were any special requirements and was told I had to upgrade
my package from Business to Business-Pro which I did. They further suggested
that I find a working Linux example, copy it and then implement it, as my
new hosting package will support it.
If there are any other 1and1 users who are successfully sending out Linux
emails, I would be most grateful if you would be so kind as to let me have a
copy of the coding.

Hi Paul,
You want to make sure you're analyzing the situation in detail, looking
for evidence that will indicate the source of the problem. That is, avoid
trial-and-error debugging in which you change some code, run it, and then
just wait to see if the email comes or not. At this point (that is, since
you're asking for help on it) you should be beyond trial-and-error.
For example:
- check the return value of the mail() function. I believe it returns a
boolean based on success or failure. (Check the manual to be sure.)
- can you get access to the apache error logs, which might contain some
information about an error?
I also assume you have asked your hosting provider for help on this? If
you have, their reply might offer some clues to people here who want to
help you. And you've scoured their documentation for references to
sendmail and php? It's possible they have some specific requirements for
sending mail from scripts.
- Allen
