I've had the same problem, I solved my php by using a system call so I could manually specify sendmails parameters like this:
exec("echo -e \"<<here your email with headers if you like>>\" | sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]"); For my cron (dillon) I use this script as my /usr/sbin/sendmail (/usr/bin/sendmail is linked to it): --cut-- #!/bin/sh if [ -z $MAIL_ROOT ]; then export MAIL_ROOT=/var/MailRoot fi if [ -z $DEFAULT_DOMAIN ]; then export DEFAULT_DOMAIN="qtea.nl" fi receivers=`echo "$*" | sed 's/-[^ ]*//g;s/ //g;'` if [ -z $receivers ]; then /usr/sbin/sendmail.xmail $* no-receiver else /usr/sbin/sendmail.xmail $* fi --n-paste-- This way all mails without a receiver in the parameter list will get mailed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I suspect the programs don't work because XMail's sendmail doesn't accept all parameters (but please correct me if I'm wrong) Quinox Dustin C.
