Can you login as root and su to the PHP user (Apacher User in httpd.conf) and then use "mail" on the command line to send mail to the same addresses that PHP is sending to? This probably most closely approximates what PHP is doing, and may help uncover the issue. I'd *GUESS* your sendmail.cf file is fargled somewhere... Or perhaps the aliases db got corrupted in some subtle way? Or... Maybe for some reason the PHP user cannot read all the files/directories it needs to be able to read for aliases to work, or something like that, which does not appear when you run your tests as other users. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
