So as I am not an administrator, and all I have to go on is phpinfo (unless anyone has some suggestions), should I be seeing some trace of qmail in the phpinfo? That is why I posted. I apologize if I didn't make it clear. I have read all about mail, and even used the fantastic Lemos MIME problem correcting email class to try to tackle my problems from a different angle. Given the paths phpinfo is reporting, is there anyway that the system could somehow still be using qmail? Or is that outside the scope of what this phpinfo can tell me? Thanks again!

With all of the above refering to sendmail, is there anyway that my mail() can actually be using qmail? [/snip] >From http://www.php.net/mail, something you have not read apparently.... "For the Mail functions to be available, PHP must have access to the sendmail binary on your system during compile time. [LOOKIE HERE------>If you use another mail program, such as qmail or postfix, be sure to use the appropriate sendmail wrappers that come with them.<------END LOOKIE] PHP will first look for sendmail in your PATH, and then in the following: /usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib:/usr/lib. It's highly recommended to have sendmail available from your PATH. Also, the user that compiled PHP must have permission to access the sendmail binary.
