Can anyone tell me how SENDMAIL is called from the script? No mail goes out of WSN Links on my server. Our sendmail is at /usr/sbin/sendmail, and our host thinks the script may be calling /usr/bin/sendmail.

I've seen a few threads where the email issue is addressed, but did not find any answers that work in my situation.

Have a great day,

i believe the sendmail path setting for php are in the php.ini (they are in my home installation). I think all the email sent via WSNlinks is through the mail() function.

It's a mystery to me. Here's the Apache settings for my Sendmail:

sendmail_from no value no value
sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
serialize_precision 100 100
short_open_tag On On
SMTP localhost localhost

Should any of these affect the sending of mail from WS Links? I suspect the problem is not with my relationship to WSN Links because the server administrator can receive mail to his default account on the server.

I've asked the administrator to check things on the server end, but thought I'd check the settings just in case.

Din is correct, the PHP mail() function is the only thing involved. I couldn't tell you how your PHP installation deals with it and I have no idea what any of those configuration settings do since the only apache installs I've done have been one-click automatic installs.

Thanks Paul.

Your confirmation about the Mail() function leads me to believe the problem is either on the server or with the way I installed WSN Links... Since nobody else is having htis kind of problem, that's where I need to look -- I just needed to check.

Thanks for you patience,
