Most mail-related problems have nothing to do with the sendmail line
used by PHP. They are typically problems further downstream in the
mail system.

A common one is assuming that the localhost mail server is working because it accepts the mail from the application. I see a lot of bounces in my mail logs from web sites which ship mail from the box-stock and unconfigured sendmail servers on localhost. These machines will often not be registered in DNS or will lack a valid PTR record or will greet target server with a generic "HELO bogus.site.name". An increasing number of mail servers are doing DNS checks of mail servers as an anti-spam defense.

Case in point:

Jun 11 04:13:55 jack postfix/smtpd[57160]: NOQUEUE: reject: CONNECT from unknown[62.160.92.240]: 554 5.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot
 find your hostname, [62.160.92.240]; proto=SMTP
