Was related to this problem, and after chasing a wild goose with SELinux, I started to consider the problem was related to sendmail itself. Now I think I fixed it. After discovering a file called SECURITY, in the sendmail source on one of my FreeBSD server, I discovered that in order to send mail using the sendmail binary you need to be running in MSA mode. The MSA mode uses submit.cf and can be enabled using the -Ac sendmail option. >From what I discovered, I changed the sendmail path in /etc/php.ini to : sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -Ac -t -i And now the mail() function works. :^) I hope this helps for anyone who has been unable to get any help in this list with these and other similar problems. No thanks will be given to anyone at Redhat for their complete lack of assistance to myself, and my customer who has yet to get a solution from Redhat Enterprise support. Since the SUPPORT document is not included with the binary, it took a FreeBSD user to point me to it for examination. Sincerely Guy
