Topic awaiting preservation: Configuring Sendmail on Fedora Core 4 to allow apache to send emails via PHP (Page 1 of 1)

I'm struggling to set up Sendmail to allow apache to send email via PHP. When I use the mail() function in PHP, maillog reports the following.

Dec 14 14:51:45 localhost sendmail help: jBEEpiCH017421: to=<paul@mydomain.com>, ctladdr=<apache@localhost.localdomain> (48/48), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=120390, relay=relay.myispdomain.net. [212.xx.xx.xx], dsn=5.1.1, stat=User unknown

I need to know what settings to add to sendmail.mc to put in the valid user for our isp's mail server. Can anyone assist me?

don't. Sendmail is such a beast to configure...

I suggest you use one of the PHP-SMTP classes and don't go through the hassle of running your own mail server.
If you must set up your own mailserver (don't forget - most isps don't accept mail from known dial up ip addresses), use something simpler... postfix or exim.

so long,

Thanks, Tyberius. I took your advice and set up an SMTP class is far less time than I'd already wasted trying to configure Sendmail.

glad to be of help
