When using sendmail (or qmail I guess) and the mail() function, I found that I need to add the
sendmail_path as:
sendmail_path = "sendmail -t -i &"
in PHP.INI
note the trailing "&", this lets PHP try and send your mail asynchronously, which
isn't required if the site your trying to contact is valid and is up, but if it's valid
and down (i.e. no name server available currently) PHP will "hang" on the attempt for some
period of time (minutes, or hours, I didn't have the patience to wait)
