Apache + PHP + Sendmail?
I am transfering a php built website from a webhoster to our own webserver.
Apache and PHP aren't a real problem, except for the mail() command in PHP.
The server is not required to act as a mailserver for the domains hosted on it. Only some PHP forms need to send their info externally using the mail() command.
This I don't seem to be able to achieve
And since the originating server is a Windows machine, there is nothing to peek at.
Anybody care to help me on my way with this? The PHP forms do not generate any kind of error.
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
Relevant piece of sendmail.mc:
Quote:
dnl # The following causes sendmail to only listen on the IPv4 loopback address
dnl # 127.0.0.1 and not on any other network devices. Remove the loopback
dnl # address restriction to accept email from the internet or intranet.
dnl #
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

Oct 25 08:37:52 antarctica sendmail[3730]: l9P6bqrx003730: Authentication-Warning: localhost.localdomain: apache set sender to working-address@other-provider.com using -f
Oct 25 08:38:14 antarctica sendmail[3733]: l9P6bqAq003731: to=<working-address@provider.com>, delay=00:00:22, xdelay=00:00:22, mailer=esmtp, pri=120533, relay=gsmtp163.google.com. [64.233.163.27], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection reset by gsmtp163.google.com.
Based on this, I assume php/apache is configured properly (since the mails go out), but do I need to tweak sendmail ?!?
Any advice welcome of course!

If I'm right,i think your mail reaches google but google not accepts your mail because ,
google doesn't recognice the from domain. ie. from address.
you can send mail from work station because your workstation as valid Exchange server i guess.
try commands , like
dig yourhostname
from home and office
it'll provide atleast 1 answer
