Sendmail uses resovler libs/dns for delivery and the /etc/mail/* files to determine what is local verus remote. I would check the following: 1) Type: dnsdomainname 2) Type: hostname 3) Check how sendmail interpreted your resolver lib configuration by typing: # sendmail -bt -d0.1 </dev/null Look to be sure the domain/canonical names match what you think they should be. 4) use the "mail" command to recreate a locally submitted e-mail. Look at /var/log/maillog and check the relay= flag. Should be selecting the local mailer, if thats where you want these php mails delivered.
