I mean what do i have to change > for php mail function to work with q-mail ?? > Qmail includes a file sendmail in the /var/qmail/bin directory that is a wrapper that looks like sendmail to programs, and initiates qmail mail delivery. The Qmail install instructions include a suggestion to replace your existing sendmail binary with a link to this file. One way or another, you need to make the sendmail_path on php.ini point to this file. I did the following: mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.old ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail in php.ini sendmail_path /usr/sbin/qmail or you could look in the Configuration section of the manual and find... sendmail_path string Where the sendmail program can be found, usually /usr/sbin/sendmail or /usr/lib/sendmail configure does an honest attempt of locating this one for you and set a default, but if it fails, you can set it here. Systems not using sendmail should set this directive to the sendmail wrapper/replacement their mail system offers, if any. For example, Qmail users can normally set it to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail.
