I'm also on FreeBSD with the same version of SendMail (8.11.6) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-06 15:47:20] alindeman@php.net Works fine for me...It might be a FreeBSD prob..What mailer are you using? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-12 09:39:33] tetranz@yahoo.com I can see that this has been reported for Solaris too. mail() always returns false but mail is sent successfully. I'm running PHP 4.0.6 as an Apache module on a FreeBSD virtual server host (at digitaldaze.com). sendmail version is 8.11.6 I can reproduce this with a simple script: if (mail("tetranz@yahoo.com","Test from PHP","Does this work?")) echo "True"; else echo "False"; Thanks Ross ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14032&edit=1
