Hi,

I'm using PHP 4.4.4 with Apache 2 on Fedora Core 5 Linux. I'm trying
to send out an email, and although I'm told everything is successful,
I'm not receiving anything in the designated inbox. The return value
from the php "mail" call is 1 and there is nothing in the spam
filter. What else can I do to troubleshoot where the problem is? My
code is below:

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
. "Content-type: text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1\n"
. "Content-Transfer-Encoding:
7bit\n"
. "From: dalvarado@domain.com
\n"
. "Return-Path:
dalvarado@domain.com\n"
. "X-Mailer: PHP " .
phpversion() . "\n"
. "Reply-to:
dalvarado@domain.com";

// TODO: handle if email fails
$retVal = mail("recipient@gmail.com", "Test
Subject", "Just a test", $headers);

print "retval: $retVal<BR>\n";

Thanks, - Dave

What's in the mail system's log files, whereever they are are? If
they're not being sent, you can catch that by looking there. If they
are being sent, then the problem is on the remote machine and out of
your control.
