RE: [PHP-GENERAL] going to try one more time about mail problems

I apologize to each any every member of this list for my tone in regards to some earlier messages about the difficulty I've been having with the mail() in PHP. I know it sounded terse and arrogant, but it was my high level of frustration. Ok, so it's not a good excuse for being rude but there it is. I had been avoiding re-installing everything because it shouldn't be the answer to any solution (just a global re-installation) but after trying to get this solved for a couple of weeks now, I've decided to h*ll with it, and stuck in the CD and reinstalled my linux (Mandrake version 7). It went fairly quickly since I was able to trim up on a few things I didn't want installed anyways... downloaded the new PHP and Apache, compiled and got them running. Copied php.dist-ini to /usr/local/lib/php.ini, verified the sendmail_path. Ran the install-sendmail 5.2 script, got sendmail running. Typed up a test PHP page with: <? mail( "wizaerd@wizaerd.com", "Test Mail", "This is a test", "From: jsheble@zanova.com" ); ?> and it came right through. The only thing I can come up with at this point is something or other was indeed screwed up, but it was something that was not highly evident. Again I apologize, and I hope that you won't hold it against me for too long... Joseph (Joe) Sheble a.k.a.
