Re: [PHP] Getting mail() to return false/0

Hi,
I was working with the mail function today to experiment with sending
a few messages, and threw in the apropriate checks so when mail()
can't send the message the apropriate errors were raised, however, I
discovered I couldn't actually get mail() to return 0. Take the
following call:
mail(dude, Daily Feed Update, body);
I assume dude is a local user you are mailing to?  Make sure you also give 
a FROM address.  Try this:

mail([EMAIL PROTECTED], Daily Feed Update, body, From: 
[EMAIL PROTECTED])

-Trav
When I run that exact call (well, I prepend echo, but you get the
idea) it returns 1. I can't for the life of me understand why my MTA
would accept an email with a destination of 'dude'.
Any thoughts?

'dude' is in fact not a user on my box, I was in fact something I
choose trying to use as an example of something that was not valid.
Running it again against asdadasdsadasdadsad returns the same
result.

When I do send mail that matters I include a From header, I was just
trying to stick with as simple an example of what I expected not to
work as possible.

Ramil: I am surprised to hear that, as it directly contridicts what is
in the builder.com article, but supports my reading of the manual.
Hmm.
