I don't think so... I just tried to add: php_value SMTP 'mail.mydomain.com' php_value sendmail_from 'me@mydomain.com' php_value sendmail_path ' ' into my Apache configuration, and PHP is still sending mail thru the local sendmail rather than qmail on my main server. I wish it would work as it would take care of a problem I am having. It looks like I may have to dig out the Sendmail book, and do some work on it to take control of bounce messages when PHP's mail() function tries to send to an invalid address. Also, if I use: php_value sendmail_path '' Apache will not run. I get an error that php_value must have two parameters. I am not complaining, it is just something I noticed while testing. FYI, I would like to see this work on UNIX, so I have submitted a feature request to have it added: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9308 Anybody else think this would be good to have?
