Are you using headers in your mail script??? I'm no expert on sendmail at all, but your host may require the From: user@somewhere.com header before it will send???? <? $to = "user@domain.com"; $subject = "test"; $message = "testing"; $headers = "From: user@domain.com"; mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); ?> It's worth a shot :) Otherwise, does the binary and Apache version share the same php.ini file????
