Re: urgent: how should php.ini be?

Mailserver is a Linux (Red Hat) box: I cannot check the mail server logs for the time being but I checked maillogs of webserver Linux machine, and I saw these: ( I deleted some parts for obvious reasons) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oct 7 12:57:32 sendmail[7993]: MAA07991: to=addressinourdomain, delay=00:01:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, relay=<our mail server goes here>, stat=Sent (2.0.0 e97Buaq20462 Message accepted for delivery) Oct 7 13:13:35 sendmail[8032]: NAA08030: to=oguzaltun@usa.net, delay=00:01:00, xdelay=00:01:00, mailer=esmtp, relay=mxpool01.netaddress.usa.net. [204.68.24.19], stat=Deferred: Connection timed out with mxpool01.netaddress.usa.net. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The only difference is that relay thing. So sendmail tries to connect to usa.net mailserver and fails or what? How can I say sendmail to just send the email to our mailserver? Is it related to that? Oguz.

Using this clue I think there may be two problems: 1 - Messages don't > reach to our mail server at all.
