sendmail simply does not work on my computer. the default chmod was so that only root could use it but that is not pheasable because i don't think ANYBODY is dumb enough to run apache as root (you START it as root but it runs as 'nobody'). i chmoded it to 755 so all users could actually use it. to test if it wasn't just my bad programming that was the problem, i set my forum which runs on Perl to send email through sendmail specified at /usr/sbin/sendmail and it was unable to send emails. no error, just no mail. i changed it back to using SMTP and it was able to send out emails again.
does anybody know what could be fudged about sendmail and how i can fix it?
