Well, I got things working, and I wanted to let everyone know how. I configured php.ini as so: sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail When I should have said: sendmail_path = "/usr/lib/sendmail -t" What isn't mentioned anywhere that I've seen is that if you need to reconfigure sendmail support in php.ini, you must include all your flags on the config line. This should be obvious, I guess, but it wasn't to me. -- Don Faulkner, MCP | Senior Security Analyst | Spectria <don.faulkner@infosec.spectria.com> | --A division of Rainbow Technologies | 1-888-IS-GUARD
