i had tried to make some changes in the configuration of sendmail ... but my php mail function still not working, didnt receive any email ... izzit can check the sendmail is working correctly ? can some1 show me the way ...

thnx alot ...

Maybe check the log (it's /var/log/maillog on my system), to see what's happening when mail is being sent?

it came out with this
-bash: /var/log/maillog: Permission denied

sorry, im totally new in linux ... wat wrong with tat ? anyway thanx

Did you just type "/var/log/maillog" in a terminal? You need to open it with a text editor (as root). To become root, type "su" (without quotes) and then your root password when prompted. Then open the file with the name of the editor you want to use (emacs, vi, joe, kate, gedit, nano, pico, etc) followed by the filename, eg. "pico /var/log/maillog".

this is my php.ini

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost.localdomain
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = root@localhost.localdomain


then im testing with this php code ...

<?php
$to = 'dyer607@hotmail.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

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

this the some of it i copy ... wat should i check with the log file ? sorry on troubling u with this kind of Q, i really wish i can solve it in soon ...

Did you set those yourself? If so, you shouldn't have as they're for Windows only..

Edit: in your log file are there any lines that contain the address you're trying to send to, dyer607@hotmail.com?

ya, i set it, i not really understand with those README ... so izzit anything wrong with tat ? im using fedora 3 ...

Well it clearly says "For Win32 only" and since you're using Linux..

Edit: also, don't use "HELP !!!" in thread titles, it won't help your thread get more attention.

-_-" omg ... i really din notice that ... so this following this need to set something ?

; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

If that's the path to your sendmail, leave it as it is, unless you want to use different arguments (see "man sendmail" for details of those).

okok, go n hav a look now ... anyway thanx u so much !!!

oh yah Nylex, can u help me on this problem
"/bin/sh: mailman: command not found"
wat is the problem ?

The problem is either that you don't have "mailman" installed, or that the path to its executable isn't in your $PATH environment variable.

there is a executable mailman in /usb/lib/mailman/mail ... if it isn't in the $PATH environment variable ... so what should i do ?
