Re: [PHP4BETA] mail() doesn't work : bug ?

Did some research: [joey@samaritan] ~ 31-->grep "nrcpts=[^0]" /var/log/mail.info | wc -l 9055 [joey@samaritan] ~ 32-->grep "nrcpts=" /var/log/mail.info | wc -l 10221 And not one complaint of unsent mail in over a year... The following is from ORA's "Bat Book", on sendmail 8.8: (emphasis added) The -t command-line switch causes sendmail to gather its list of recipients from the messages header /in addition to/ gathering them from its command line... I looked in the RELEASE_NOTES for sendmail, and cannot find any change in this behavior... I take it you _ARE_ at least the postmaster on the machine in question? Have you looked in the log files to see WHY it is not being delivered? I think at this point we have determined that it is most likely NOT PHP that is at fault, so we should probably take this off list... --Joey Smith On Thu, 11 Nov 1999, Olivier Cahagne wrote: > > > Briefly, newer sendmails require that the recipient names be specified > > > on the command line as well as being in the To: line > > Well, that's what was in the bug id # 2146.
