I've been fighting a problem with mail() not working (discovered when trying to install/run PHPBB and getting no activation emails). I built a short test to mail() an email and it does not work, but gives no errors ... the same code DOES work on another server I have access to. The sendmail path specified in PHP info is correct, and I know that it works because formmail uses it successfully. I found a post in here that mentions the possibility that the user that compiled PHP doesn't have permission to access the sendmail binary ... how do I check that? Would it just making sure the user listed with a ls -l is the same for the sendmail, and the php directories?
thanks!
