Hard-coded, essentially. > To summarize: On the strength of Richard's reply I decided to start fooling around with the php.ini file. Works OK - I can set values in phpinfo(). sendmail_path is correct according to phpinfo(). I've tried it with and without a sendmail_from value. I'm using completely orthodox mail() syntax (see previous post). But even though mail() returns 1, I get nada (no mail arrives). Any ideas? What I find really peculiar is that I *always* get a positive return value. Even if I give it a totally erroneous location for sendmail...What's up with that? ----------------------------------------------------- omnivore: omnivore@sympatico.ca Networked and Desktop interactive technologies tel: +1 416 603 3309 Build surveys online with surveys123: http://www.surveys123.com Your Online Science & Astronomy Superstore: http://www.e-sci.com
