I'm pretty new with linux. Until recently I thought I knew enough about it to hold my own, but I realize now I don't. I installed Apache 2, PHP 5 and mySQL 4, but now I need to get sendmail up and running so that I can use the PHP sendmail functions for my web site... I wrote the following PHP to test sendmail:
I really don't know what's going on... If somebody could help I'd appreciate it. I did some reasearch on sendmail online, but found nothing truly distro specific. I'm running the version that came with Slackware 10.0, so I don't want to mess it up by trying to configure from one of the tutorials that doesn't realize that.
Yes I have the same problem with my individual postfix application for an email server.
It is my understanding that some domains block all individual email servers. So your best bet is going to be to bounce your outgoing e-mail off your ISP's SMTP server. That will probably do the trick.
Well, I got through the issue using the following PHP command. The fix was listed in the extended version of the PHP manual:
This is exact code...
PHP Code:
mail("jkassemi@hotmail.com", "Post updated: ".$pName." from: ".$pCategory,
"You are subscribed to the following post:\r\n".
$pName." in category: ".$pCategory."\r\n".
"\r\n".
"And it has just been updated. Please click:\r\n\r\n".
"<a href='http://www.jameskassemi.com/viewpost.php?id=".$pID."\r\n\r\n".
"To visit the post. If your e-mail client does not support links, just copy and
paste the above URL into your browser. Thank you,\r\n\r\n JamesKassemi.com".
"\r\n\r\n\r\nPlease do not reply to this message, nobody is waiting to answer messages to the e-mail address it was sent from."
