Mail Problems
« on: September 15, 2008, 10:09:45 am »
Hi,
I have this strange problem:
when I try to send mail via [ksh] shell on my OpenBSD 4.0 server there is no problem and mail is delivered, but when I try to send email via php with function mail() it return false and the mail is not sended.

I have readed everthing I can find about this problem but nothing seems to work.

I'm set my php.ini to use exacty the same sendmail I'm using when I send email via shell.

So if anyone had same problem and solved it, please tell me how to manage this.

Thanks in advance.

When sending using php does the mail ever make it into the mail queue? Look at your mail logs to see whether mail is injected or not.

How did you compile php? If at the time of compilation php doesn't find an appropriate sendmail it will compiled without mail support - however I'm not sure whether the mail() function is still available (but fails silently) or not.
