mail() fucntion not sending out any mail

[Anon]

Hello,

I have successfully configured PHP4.0.6 on RedHat5.2, all is well but for the mail() which does not send out any mail, it does not return any error either, i tested it with the following code;

<?php mail("[e-mail]", "Test My Subject", "LiniTeste 1\nLine 2\nLine 3");
?>

This does not return an error but does not send out any mail either, i have also tested this with variety of other parameters/code available at;

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php but still no mail is being send out.

The above code is working just fine on another server of mine. Also, on this server the script returns a value of "1" upon sucessful submission, but on the server where the mail() function is not working, no value is being returned.

I have edited my php.ini file and it looks like this;

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
;SMTP = localhost ; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = [e-mail]

;For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: 'sendmail -t -i').

sendmail_path = sendmail -t -i

I have also tried substituting sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail , i.e. the path to my sendmail but nothing sems to work here. I am using;

PHP4.0.6
sendmail-8.9.3-20.2RS
apache-1.3.14-2.2RS

Please help me in troubleshooting this.

Best Regards,
Vivek

Have a look to see whether the mail facility is running on your machine by typing :

mail [e-mail]

bla bla bla

Maybe if that's not working, you need to configure Sendmail, or whatever Mail Transfer Agent you're using.

Yes, that's what i did, i am able to send mails via the command line but this is a very uncommon problem problem with PHP.
