PHP mail function depends only on two things:
- PHP config (search for
mail
keyword inphp.ini
) - Sendmail
Mail transport is a different question and if you don't have any errors after your PHP script sends the email, you could check:
mailq
, if queue is not empty, possibly there is firewall issuetail /var/log/mail
, log checking :-)

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I checked /var/log/maillog and its empty. php.ini under [mail function]: sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i but in /usr/sbin there is no sendmail, maybe I need to install this first? – Feb 25 '10 at 13:03

Yes. Or check the command 'whereis sendmail` in case if sendmail is installed in different place. – Andrejs Cainikovs Feb 26 '10 at 11:14

You could also install something else. Other MTAs also offer sendmail compatible `sendmail` commands. – Alex Jasmin Apr 12 '10 at 10:23
