Question : LINUX -- PHP + Sendmail Woes -- Emails not being sent.

Okay, so I have php sendmail, I can send mail through the console like putty using /usr/sbin/sendmail [email protected]   and it will  get through just fine.

However, I cannot get this working in PHP!

My config is rather simple: sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail

My php test script is:

<?php
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Testing..";
$message = "testing email!!!";
$headers = 'From: [email protected]o.com' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: [email protected]o.com' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>


When I get emails from the putty console, they are using '[email protected]to.com' so I have used this email as well for tests now for php. So I think sendmail is correct since it sends without going through PHP... but PHP settings are not.

Anyone have any ideas what I am missing? There is 'no' domain linked to this, just wanted a basic sendmail for small issues that my other php scripts might experience, and the firewall is shut off for now.

Do yourself a favor and forget the mail() function even exists. Try using the pear mail package.
