Re: Getting mail() to return false/0

----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Reinheimer" <preinheimer@gmail.com>

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");

I assume "dude" is a local user you are mailing to? Make sure you also give a FROM address. Try this: mail("dude@domain.com", "Daily Feed Update", "body", "From: me@mydomain.com") -Trav

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
