Hi, I've been using a PHP build from the source RPM on my box for a while
without any problems, though admittedly I haven't been doing anything that
would use the mail() function, so I might actually have the same problem
you do, I just don't know.
Of course, my telling you that helps you not at all, so here's my
suggestion:
(1) Test to see if the mail() function works with sendmail installed. I
know that involves some work, but maybe it's just broken in the version of
PHP you have.
(2) If you've done (1) and found that mail() works, leave sendmail
installed, but just delete all of the sendmail binaries (so nothing can be
run) and put the symlinks back, etc. That way, all of the sendmail
libraries are still there and hopefully PHP will stop complaining.
Admittedly, this is an ugly solution, but it *might* work if you can't fix
it any other way.
