mail() won't send to any recipient

[Anon]

from watching the /var/log/maillog
i notice that every time i run a simple php script like:

<?
mail("[e-mail]","the_subject","the_body","From:god");

print("check the /var/log/maillog");

?>

give me the following /var/log/maillog

[root@yoda ilya]# tailf /var/log/maillog
Jan 17 09:31:03 yoda sendmail[2423]: JAA02423: from=apache, size=58,
class=0, pri=58, nrcpts=0, msgid=<[e-mail]>,
relay=apache@localhost

notice the 'nrcpts', it said nrcpts=0

in bash, using 'mail [e-mail]'

give me the following /var/log/maillog

Jan 17 09:36:36 yoda sendmail[2485]: JAA02485: from=apache, size=48,
class=0, pri=30048, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[e-mail]>,
relay=apache@localhost

notice the 'nrcpts', it said nrcpts=1

and the mail sent succesfully.

hmm... but <? phpinfo() ?> gave me a correct path to sendmail

i'm no sendmail nor php warrior,
any hints greatly appreciated.

ah i just strolling through the archive,
and found out from JOHN@somewhere 🙂
that the following is working,

// declare variables

$to = "[e-mail]";

$from = "[e-mail]";
$replyto = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "ini subject";
$body = "Body body";

$fd = popen("/usr/sbin/sendmail -t","w");
fputs($fd, "To: $to\n");
fputs($fd, "From: $from\n");
fputs($fd, "Reply-to: $replyto\n");
fputs($fd, "Subject: $subject\n");
fputs($fd, "$body\n\n");
pclose($fd);
?>

ahh..that's it for now...
as long as it's works, i don't bother to pursue other method 🙂

thanks John
