+     For the Mail functions to be available, PHP must have access to the
+     <literal>sendmail</literal> 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 <literal>PATH</literal>, and then in
+     the following:  
+     <literal>/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib:/usr/lib</literal>.
+     It's highly recommended to have sendmail available from your
+     <literal>PATH</literal>.  Also, the user that compiled PHP must have
+     permission to access the sendmail binary.
