PHP mail never arrives - no error

[willgnosis]

i tried to change my sendmail path

sendmail_path = /usr/local/psa/qmail/bin/sendmail

in my php.ini file



but still i cant send php mail!

what do i have to do to be able to send php mail?


i get this is my mail log:

Mar 9 16:34:59 minimacs-Computer qmail: 1173458099.125566 new msg 223393
Mar 9 16:34:59 minimacs-Computer qmail: 1173458099.128400 info msg 223393: bytes 300 from <anonymous@minimacs-Computer.local> qp 3254 uid 70
Mar 9 16:34:59 minimacs-Computer qmail: 1173458099.130578 end msg 223393


nothing arrives!

I can send successfully using the plesk mass mailer. & my php code it good - using the mail(); function.

but no php mail...!??


stramgely enough Mime mail DOES work..

but the basic php mail(); function doesn't

Hello,

The path to sendmail should be:

/usr/sbin/sendmail

For the Mail functions to be available, PHP must have access to the sendmail binary on your system during compile time. If you use another mail program, such as qmail or postfix, be sure to use the appropriate sendmail wrappers that come with them. PHP will first look for sendmail in your PATH, and then in the following: /usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib:/usr/lib. It's highly recommended to have sendmail available from your PATH. Also, the user that compiled PHP must have permission to access the sendmail binary.

The problem is more likely due to remote mail server checking the domain (minimacs-Computer.local) - sending the mail from a correctly formed email address should work fine.

ok... it seems that actually my php WAS working but for some reason if i send a message to a hotmail.com address it never arrives - doesn't evem get junked.

If send a message to a yahoo address it arrives - but gets junked!

anyone know what on earth happens to these messages sent to hotmail???

dop they just automatically delete them?

I am sending using mime mail

with these headers:

$mail->setHeader('From',"$email");
$mail->setHeader('Reply-To',"$email");
$mail->setHeader('MIME-Version','1.0');
$mail->setHeader('Content-Type','text/html; charset=iso-8859-1');
$mail->setFrom("$Name1<$email>");
$mail->setSubject($subject);
$mimego = $mail->send(array($to),'smtp');
echo $mimego ? ' ' : '<br>Failed to send mail';

I would suggest checking what I mentioned above and also ensuring that the server's IP's all have reverse DNS set up.

if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
}
?>
********************
