If you use another mail program, such as <span class="productname">qmail</span> or <span class="productname">postfix</span>, be sure to use the appropriate sendmail wrappers that come with them. PHP will first look for sendmail in your <em>PATH</em>, and then in the following: <em>/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib:/usr/lib</em>. It's highly recommended to have sendmail available from your <em>PATH</em>. Also, the user that compiled PHP must have permission to access the sendmail binary. </p> </div><hr /><div class="manualnavbar" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="prev" style="text-align: left; float: left;"><a href="mail.setup.html">Installing/Configuring</a></div> <div class="next" style="text-align: right; float: right;"><a href="mail.installation.html">Installation</a></div> <div class="up"><a href="mail.setup.html">Installing/Configuring</a></div> <div class="home"><a href="index.html">PHP Manual</a></div> </div></body></html>
