[PHP] note to PHP developers
I have noticed on the list over the past two months, an increasing number of problems with the mail() function. Mostly, people having this problem don't have sendmail installed. It would seem that PHP's mail() function was written around sendmail. Is there a way to resolve this, with either configuration flags or by re-writing the mail() function install to look for alternative MTAs??? Just thought I would point it out. My solution: - OS RH 7.1 w/Sendmail install - installed PHP 4.x - removed Sendmail - installed Qmail - changed php.ini path -> qmail path --- Michael Geier CDM Sports, Inc. - Systems Administrator email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: 314.991.1511 x 6505 pager: 314.318.9414 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On a side note, qmail has a wrapper that pretends to be sendmail. You can overwrite the /bin/mail with it and it will behave and accept mail just like sendmail, but send it through qmail-smtp.

Re: [PHP] note to PHP developers
Me too. I've never had a problem with Postfix. It just dropped in in Sendmail's place and has worked wonderfully ever since. Great piece of software.

I was led to believe Postfix is what Qmail evolved into?

RE: [PHP] note to PHP developers
No, they're two seperate things. In addition to being incredibly easy to install and configure, Postfix can be made fairly secure and it has a better (=more 'open') license of some kind.
