Question

I have been trying to send email for registration, invitations and so on.

On local development, emails get sent. However once on the server no mails arrive.

I installed postfix. I was trying to setup a mail server but gave up. So currently, If I type in terminal

peter# mail [e-mail]

the email arrives. However, this does not send email:

 $res  = mail('[e-mail]', 'subj', 'bodddd');

not only that, but echoing $res gives nothing. Neither true nor false.

What and how do i do to make it working?

thanx

According to your comment above, it looks like your sendmail path is either wrong or commented out in your php.ini. It should be something like this:

sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

If you’re unsure where your sendmail binary resides, you may find it by using:

whereis sendmail
