PHP Mail Not Working

[RAH]

Hello,

I recently setup a new LAMP server and moved a forum to it. However PHP Mail doesn't seem to be working, at least not with vBulletin. Any ideas?

Thanks.

can any body tell me how i can send email using php mail function in linux?

please help me

there are 2 ways I know to send emails
1.php mail function
PHP mail() Function

2. via smtp ath:
require_once "Mail.php";

$from = ''; //FROM MAIL ID
$to = ''; //TO MAIL ID
$subject = ''; //MAILER SUBJECT

//authontication
$host = $config['smtp_host'];
$username =$config['smtp_username'];
$password = $config['smtp_password'];

$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);

$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
//end

$message = 'Mail Body';

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $message);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo $mail->getMessage();
} else {
echo "Mail sent successfully" );
}

the other possiblity might be php pear check you have installed ..your application might need that
