PHP mail function depends only on two things:

  • PHP config (search for mail keyword in php.ini)
  • Sendmail

Mail transport is a different question and if you don't have any errors after your PHP script sends the email, you could check:

  • mailq, if queue is not empty, possibly there is firewall issue
  • tail /var/log/mail, log checking :-)

  • Hi, Thanks for your reply. I checked /var/log/maillog and its empty. php.ini under [mail function]: sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i but in /usr/sbin there is no sendmail, maybe I need to install this first? Commented Feb 25, 2010 at 13:03
  • Yes. Or check the command 'whereis sendmail` in case if sendmail is installed in different place. Commented Feb 26, 2010 at 11:14
  • You could also install something else. Other MTAs also offer sendmail compatible sendmail commands. Commented Apr 12, 2010 at 10:23
