Getting mail() to return false/0

Hi, I was working with the mail function today to experiment with sending a few messages, and threw in the apropriate checks so when mail() can't send the message the apropriate errors were raised, however, I discovered I couldn't actually get mail() to return 0. Take the following call: mail("dude", "Daily Feed Update", "body"); When I run that exact call (well, I prepend echo, but you get the idea) it returns 1. I can't for the life of me understand why my MTA would accept an email with a destination of 'dude'. Any thoughts? paul -- Paul Reinheimer
