Like i say in the previous message, it was a security problem. By default, only the user root and the user mail were able to use the /var/spool/mail directory ! So, changed the security on this folder and the mail funtion works now ... Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-16 09:33:52] fabian@arrfab.net OK, i know that i'm not the only one to have this little problem whit PHP 4.04pl1. In fact, when you want to use the mail function, it doesn't work : you do not receive any mail or errors ! But when i look at the Syslog, it seems that's a security problem : f3GDFxv24454: SYSERR(apache): Can't create transcript file ./xff3GDFxv24454: Permission denied f3GDFxv24454: SYSERR(apache): Cannot create ./dff3GDFxv24454: Permission denied f3GDFxv24454: from=apache, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, relay=apache@localhost Very strange isnt'it ? A mail from apache(the user account used to run http daemon) with no recipient and no mail data ! Can someone help me ? This would be the solution for a lot of people having the same problem. Thanks.
