PHP mail() does not work.

[josephbc]

I have a server running at my home configured to host a few websites. All of which are live and production ready. The server has virtually no packages installed and I use a 3rd party dns server. The only services the server uses is nginx (http server) + php5-fpm (PHP), and openssh-server (secure shell).

The problem is my simple php contact forms don't work. I'm certain it isn't the php form code but rather my server configuration because the form works perfectly on my local machine. Finding an answer has proven difficult. I've tried setting up a full blow mail server when really all I need is the ability to send mail using the php mail() function.

And now I'm looking for instructions on how to do just that. Thank you.

Tried having a go at getting it work with pear mail. I followed the documentation but still no luck.
