[vox-tech] PHP Mail not sending mail

[Dave Margolis]

If you run php_info, what do you get back for your sendmail_path value?

PHP depends on /usr/bin/sendmail (unless you change this val in your
php.ini).  Postfix provides a compatible dummy sendmail, but it might
not be where PHP is looking for it.

<?

php_info();

?>
