mail command failing

Hi all,

I'm very puzzled by this. I've been using the php mail command for years but now I can't get it to work and can't figure out how to diagnose the problem.

The code below was copied from the manual (addresses changed, etc); php.ini has safe_mode off; binary is at /usr/sbin/sendmail.

<?php
ini_set("SMTP","localhost" );
ini_set('sendmail_from', 'mike.wright@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx');

$name = "Mike Wright"; //senders name
$email = "mike.wright@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"; //senders e-mail adress
$recipient = "mike.wright@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"; //recipient
$body = "The text for the mail..."; //mail body
$subject = "Subject for review"; //subject
$header = "From: $name <$email>\r\n"; //optional headerfields

$echo = mail($recipient, $subject, $body, $header) ? 'success':'fail';
echo "<br/><br/>$echo";

I can access the mail server with "/usr/bin/mailx" and by telnet "localhost 25". I can also send mail using php by using 'exec (" echo $body | mailx -s $subject $recipient")'.

php-5.2.29 on fedora10 with apache 2.2.14.  Can this be selinux related?

Any ideas or troubleshooting tips?

Thanks,
Mike Wright
