Ben Sampson! How did you solve? I would like to learn the CMS: Drupal and have a problem with php sendmail.

The XAMPP is installed
THe sendmail is installed (as how described above)
The php.ini was modified (as how described above)

I tried with a simple php code:

When I call this code with my browser, it waits a long time for localhost and finally I get the answer: “Mail Sent” , but the email doesn’t arrive.

If anybody has the solution, please let me know.

Thanks!

p.s.: I use Ubuntu 11.04 64bit

It’s possible your ISP has some kind of port blocking going on preventing you from sending outbound mail… do you know what their policy is on this?

Hi moata_u,

When you say via Internet, do you mean it’s on another server? You’ll need to make sure your web host also has sendmail support — many require you to use SMTP to another mailserver these days.

Cheers,

Josh

Wonderful,
I used a full path to /usr/sbin/ssmtp, it worked with a command shell but not with a script. It’s really stupid!
thank you

Just a little comment: PHP requiring full path to sendmail (actually, any other binary) actually makes perfect sense:
when running sendmail from a terminal the binary is found by looking into $PATH. PHP can’t count on that being defined for itself, thus it needs the full path to the binary (just as you would need to type if you hadn’t a properly defined $PATH).

Hope this clarifies a little bit.
