Oliver, Yes I also analyzed the log files from apache, but all they are telling me is that I am accesing the file "mail.php" with my browser. Error.log stays empty. I wish that it were possible to reproduce an error when accessing mail() that would somewhat look like this: "cannot access /usr/sbin/sendmail: permission denied", then at least I know what needs to be done. However I doubt that my php configuration is forbidden to access this file. ---- Andy
That isn't very rare, sbin is a folder that only root can access(atleast that's how it was designed) Since you can execute the PHP CLI binary, you have SSH access to the machine. You first should check the permissions of the sendmail binary with ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail and check the output. If you have access to the root account, then you could also try to su to the user PHP is running on and then try to access the sendmail binary. Tijnema
