Topic: E-Smith & PHP mail function

[Thomas Kristensen]

Hi,

I realize subject has been covered a few times in these forums, however I haven't found a solution that works.

Setup is SME 5.5, update 2. I've made some php pages that shoots off emails using the mail function. This works great as long as I send email to users on my own domain, as soon as I target email addresses outside my domain these entries show up in the qmail/current log:

@400000003db7ca9517a87afc info msg 1638507: bytes 614 from qp 1831 uid 100
@400000003db7ca951913e23c end msg 1638507

hence nothing happens. I've tried altering the php.ini file and restarting the httpd after each change. Apparently this has something to do with the sendmail_path parameter but I've had no luck in changing it to something that works.

I really appreciate any help you can give...

Cheers,
Thomas Kristensen

Duh, sorry for the disturbance... It turns out that I am unable to keep track of my variablenames and if you send an email to nowhere it gets nowhere

So, it was _all_ my own fault...

Cheers,

You could always issue a shell_exec() to the /bin/mail function, I believe there are security issues with the PHP mail function:

As an FYI, the path to sendmail is /usr/sbin/sendmail

Hope this helped,
Nathan
