PHP(mail) Function

make sure your hostname is valid and resolves. #1 reason for mail to fail to send.

 

Hi, in WHM you have to set a hostname for your server. For example: server.mydomain.com

A lot of people will use a fake name server. The name should be a verifiable name and should resolve. That's where I would check 1st.

 

its with php security
open php.ini and look for a line

Code:

register_globals

And make sure its turned on! when its off you cant send mail with php
Php have register_globals a while ago turned off in there new installations read at:
www.php.net/register_globals

Good luck

 

you should then troubleshoot the mail logs,

tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog

try sending a email, what error is logged. Look in /etc/httpd/logs/suexec_log , any errors for the site listed?

Are permissions correct?

 

Is this true? as far as I know it should send with it off or on - I would tail your server:

tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog

When you send mail using php it or something should show up there and will let you know why it stopped.

Another thing is if you dont have phpsuexec it will send as nobody, you may have it disabled in WHM and if you dont sometimes you'll find that some other host will not like this. If you dont have phpsuexec installed I would do so.

 

Will your email be flagged as spam if it doesn't come from the same email address as the from: field?

 

if it comes from "nobody" (if phpsuexec is not installed right) it more then likely will – Sometimes if that domain is not hosted at your server/ip it maybe marked as spam also do you have an rDNS setup on your ip?
