Since i've setup my local sendmail (smail) I can't send messages to any php.net e-mail address. when I use my mailserver it goes fine. whats the problem? using smail is faster so thats why I'm using it. are you using your local sendmail or your hosts smtp? .: Allowee

You most likely have it configured badly. (Feel free to mail me directly so that I can have a look).

PHP uses qmail. Derick

Hmm, I'm using the default config files...

Here's the funny part.. My host also has qmail. and I just found out that mailing to my host with smail has no problems at all. I mail it, check my email and it's there. (headers show me that it really was at my host) I got the feeling that it's linux again.. it's in a sig smewhere...

allowee.no-SPAM-ip.com is not a valid domain name, a lot of mail servers will bounce that. (Also, please take this off-list, as it has nothing to do with PHP internals). Derick

Assuming you've tried the obvious and looked at your log files... If you're having trouble with sendmail, you might want to try exim. It's got what is generally considered to be a more sane config than sendmail.
