Hi,

Anybody know why my PHP sendmail will only send messages to email accounts on the same server? Emails arrive ok in my accounts on the server but will not send out to an email account hosted elsewhere?

Cheers,
Mike

Nobody can know this. All mindreaders are on vacations.

Check your /var/log/maillog.

Will do. But are there any configuration settings that could cause this?

Cheers

Mike, paste your php code in that does the mailing. I've had problems with this in the past, especially with global accounts like hotmail and yahoo ... for me, it was a matter of sending the right mail headers to get the messages to go through.

I had the same problem before.
I think the problem is in your script or some few php global parameters, not on the server, because after the mail() function didn't work for me ( it returns true, but don't send anything) I installed Joomla, and Joomla was able to send messages ! So check out your script
