| from a php user manual i find it uses "mail" in linux, i tried to use that
and find emails sent to the same domain with the linux machine can be done
successfully while the others will say domain not found.
do i need to configure or apply for something in order to get it sent to all
valid email addresses?

| I guess you need a mail server to send the mails to an other domain...
When you send the mail to the same domain there wont be a problem
because there is a local delivery, but if you want to send the email
"outside", that is different.

You'll need to configure an MTA on the Linux box that's running the PHP
script. Sendmail, Exim, Qmail, and Postfix are all examples of popular
MTAs. Whichever distribution you're using will provide packages for one
or more them. Install and configure whichever one you find easiest. |
