Re: Sending mail with php-

You need a domain name pointing to your IP address for a start, then you either need to configure php.ini to use the correct email or you should pass the additional param to sendmail, as shown below. Taken from php.net: The additional_parameters parameter can be used to pass an additional parameter to the program configured to use when sending mail using the sendmail_path configuration setting. For example, this can be used to set the envelope sender address when using sendmail with the -f sendmail option.

    The user that the webserver runs as should be added as a trusted user to the sendmail configuration to prevent a 'X-Warning' header from being added to the message when the envelope sender (-f) is set using this method. For sendmail users, this file is /etc/mail/trusted-users.

The additional_parameters parameter can be used to pass an additional parameter to the program configured to use when sending mail using the sendmail_path. <?php mail('nobody@example.com', 'the subject', 'the message', null, '-fwebmaster@example.com'); ?> James Dotan Cohen wrote:

On my home Fedora Core 4 box I run Apache 2.0. Sometimes when sending mail with php no mail is delivered, and I find this in the logs: <<< 550-Verification failed for <apache@localhost.localdomain> <<< 550-unrouteable mail domain "localhost.localdomain" <<< 550 Sender verify failed So I changed the only email address in httpd.conf to: ServerAdmin dotan@lyricslist.com But I still get the error! I did restart apache and even went so far as to reboot the machine. If I cannot modify the parameter within apache, then where should I modify it? Within php? Within sendmail? Thank you.
