Make sure you can send email from the command line, with PHP not in the picture: mail rodio_r@xxxxxxxxxxx This is a test. . The . by itself on a line indicates the end of the message. If that doesn't successfully send out mail, then adding PHP into the mix is unlikely to also work. * Step 2. Make sure that the PHP user, which is not your usual login, can send email. su to the PHP user on the command line, and repeat step 1, and see if it works. In particular, the sendmail program has to be executable by the PHP user, and the mail configuration (usually sendmail.cf) has to allow the PHP user to send out email. If you are not using sendmail, the moral equivalent of the preceding sentence is still true. Step 3. Make sure php.ini has the correct settings for 'sendmail' (Un*x) or 'SMTP' (Windoze) * Technically, your mail server could be configured to deny access to you to send email, but allow PHP user to send email, but this is unlikely. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
