Hi vbnullchar,

  locate your php.ini and search for [mail function]

[vbnullchar]

are saying this part? this is easy if youre using windows server but whit if linux i need to know how to configure the sendmail function.

 

[mail function]

; For Win32 only.

;SMTP = 130.xx.x.x ; for Win32 only

;smtp_port = 25

;sendmail_from= aa@@vvv.com ; for Win32 only

 

; For Win32 only.

;sendmail_from = me@example.com

 

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").

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

That looks ok to me

 

 

Visit http://www.php.net and search for the function "mail" to learn the syntax and examples of how to send mail in PHP.

 

It'll just use the sendmail binary to send your mail.  If you are behind a firewall, you can setup /etc/mail/sendmail.cf (or /etc/sendmail.cf, not sure) to use a relay.

I've got DELL with Ubuntu 7.10 and sendmail isn't installed. When I

try to install it with

 

sudo apt-get install sendmail

 

I get the following message

 

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree     

Reading state information... Done

Package sendmail is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

E: Package sendmail has no installation candidate

 

Any idea what I should do to get it installed?

I've solved this thanks.
