Hello, yeah it's plaintext ... ;) well you may want to check locally to your machine the # mailq or the logs of your local smtp agent to check what exactly was the reason why the mail could not be delivered. I can assure you the PHP calls the function to send the email, but this will only work if you have "something" able to send emails on your machine for example sendmail or postfix or any other SMTP capable software. PHP by default uses the sendmail command specified in php.ini (formerly sendmail -i or so) if your sendmail installation is not placed under the path i think you would want to change it in php.ini and restart apache for changes to take effect. If you dont have an SMTP agent, i suggest you download and install one (http://www.sendmail.org/) If you use Postfix, it should install a "wrapper" to sendmail.. e.g. postfix will install a "script" that will allow programms calling lines like "sendmail -i <some other args>" to be passed to postfix correctly... I think the only reasons why you cant get your site to send mails could be : - no local SMTP agent - badly configured local SMTP agent - NAT'd network and locally the machine can't access the remote network/and or recipient's MX - the 'sendmail' binary/script can't be found with default options of the "php.ini" file (prolly in /usr/local/lib/php.ini) Check mailq, /var/adm/log/maillog (or /var/adm/log/messages), /var/spool/mqueue, /var/spool/clientmqueue and read your SMTP agent's manual for any questions regarding it. regards, ----------------------------------------------- nighty - Undernet IRC Operator ----------------------------------------------- Paris.FR.EU.Undernet.Org ----------------------------------------------- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key available at http://www.ecp-net.com/pgpkeys.php3?mail=nighty%40undernet.org FingerPrint : 40A8 D43E E4EB D04D D7AD A9AC 2392 A17F E57C C83E -----------------------------------------------
