postcast and mail()

[Anon]

Does anyone have mail() working with postcast. I've got Apache running on NT4 (server), I'm also using PHP 4.04 - both of these have proved to be very stable and have been in use of months.

I wanted a means for web site users to be e-mailed when they fill in forms so I installed Postcast which e-mails out just fine, both on the webserver and via e-mail tools over the LAN. However, in php, when I use the mail function the browser returns: - Warning: Unknown error in (the calling script).

Anyone know why this would be? I've tried editing php.ini but from what I can see the default settings should work e.g SMTP defaults to localhost and sendmail_from has a valid e-mail address in it 🙁

Thanks for any help.

I'm trying to do the same thing except I'm using IIS5. I get the exact same error. Does PHP require you to use a particular SMTP server? Somebody?

I'm having a similar problem with postcast and PHP mail()
I don't get an error message on the browser - the yellow envelope on the upper right flashes - but the message never comes into postcast.
I tried postcast Version 1.5.13 and the new 2.something - same results.
Mail sent from my regular mail client to postcast works just fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
