intresting sendmail, php.ini problem

[blaci]

Hi!

I have Rad Hat Linux 7.2, an internal HSP56 MR modem (56kbits/s) . I connect to the Internet using dial-up.
I want to send e-mails with php ( mail() function ) from my 'server' (localhost) .

I have the sendmail server at /usr/sbin/sendmail BUT even if i change in the php.ini the smtp_path to /usr/sbin/sendmail, the mail() function doesn't send e-mails...

What should i do??

Thanks for your answer!

I'm not sure if you mean your mail is getting to sendmail and then not being sent or what.
sendmail -q
will send out the mail that is qued to sendmail
sendmail has to be configured properly
if you are trying to send through your isp (smtp)
sendmail has to be configured for that
configuring sendmail is roughly the equivalent of say putting someone on mars
but the rush is worth it.
unfortunately you can't just send out mail
on the internet without it coming from a traceable/verafiable domain name source
I've heard people say they can get sendmail to masquerade as other domains
but i just send through my isp's sendmail from mine.

don't know if that answered your question or not but i sure do enjoy listening to myself type!
