[aman129]

Hello everybody

i m using Linux 9 and Apache 2 and PHP 4+

I tried mail() object of php its running fine without anyerror but i m not getting mail.

Is anybody has any idea what is the problem

Is sendmail running? Try the following

ps -Alf | grep sendmail

where > is the command prompt. This will show all running processes and then grep (search) the output for the word sendmail. You should get three entries with the following at the far right of each

sendmail: accepting connections //Recieving mail which is comming in
sendmail: Queue runner@..... //This is the daemon which actually sends mail
grep sendmail // this is just your grep for sendmail

If it is not running you'll have to start it up but let's take things one step at a time (read: I can't remember if you have to do anything special, I'm just going to go and check :/)

Looking at that output, I'd say no. First, is this your box? Meaning, can you start sendmail. If so, what flavor linux (Red HAt, Gentoo, Debian, etc.)? If not, try the same command, only look for qmail instead of sendmail.
