Hi,

One of the devs changed some setting in the php.ini file and now we cant send mails using the mail() function. He said all he added was sendmail=/usr/*sumthin* -t . I have removed that line but still we cant solve the problem. He suggests we need to change SMTP settings but I just dont want to fiddle with it any more. Please can you suggest something

Thanks

What OS are you operating on? If its Windows, then setting your SMTP to your ISP should be fine.

Maybe you like to post a phpinfo link here so we can take a look at the server settings

There's 3 options in php.ini for setting SMTP/sendmail,

sendmail_from, sendmail_path and SMTP

For Windows, you use only sendmail_from (the from email address) and SMTP (usually your ISP's SMTP server or your own SMTP server)

For Linux you use sendmail_from and sendmail_path (usually "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i" with quotes) but you could use SMTP if you don't use sendmail or sendmail compatible MTAs.

I guess cause it's sendmail and not sendmail_path that it's the problem.

Cheers,

MC
