PHP mail function not working, Nobody user prevented.

Hello biggies,

Thought to share a thread on issue with php Mail function + nobody user.

If the nobody user got blocked at you server and if it is causing any issue with you form mail, you can do as follows.

Enable phpsuexec - You can implement this by compeiling the php using the script "easyapache".

Inlcude the PEAR mail function with your form Mail and also include Mail.php
You can use the following PEAR Mail function.

<?php
include('Mail.php');

$recipients = 'testing@gmail.com';

$headers['From'] = 'test@testing.com';
$headers['To'] = 'testing@gmail.com';
$headers['Subject'] = 'Test message';

$body = 'Test message';

$params['host'] = 'mail.domain.org';
$params['auth'] = TRUE;
$params['username'] = 'testing@testing.com';
$params['password'] = 'test';
// Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method
$mail_object =& Mail::factory('smtp', $params);

$mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body);?>

The following url's will help you to integrate it in a easy.
