Thanks but what about the bug (I checked bugs.php.net and this bug has been reported on August, 25, bug id #2146) with sendmail ? Briefly, newer sendmails require that the recipient names be specified on the command line as well as being in the To: line Then everything works fine ; if I just modify php.ini or php3.ini to set the sendmail_path to : "/usr/sbin/sendmail cahagn_o@epita.fr -t" instead of "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t" Then I receive mail via the PHP mail() function. Is this being worked on ? (I just checked the PHP3 CVS and PHP4 CVS but mail.c doesn't seem to be updated to handle this) -- Olivier Cahagne snina@ambafrance.org olivier.cahagne@epita.fr
