I have been unable to track down any useful suggestions on how to solve
this problem:
I have Postfix 2.4.5 installed on a Fedora 7 system; it sends and
receives most email properly.
I can originate mail from this server (using "mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]")
which is accepted and delivered properly; this works
both as a normal user, and as root.
When I attempt a similar operation from within a PHP script (running
under Apache httpd), the mail is not delivered. In the log,
I find this complaint, for which I do not know and cannot find a fix.
Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted.
