I 've never used Jaguar and unless I've missed the point completely here
.... (which I probably have!) ... all you should need to do is put your
ISP's smtp email server in your php.ini file for the item SMTP e.g.
smtp.myisp.com. Once saved then if your running PHP as a module then restart
your web server. As long as your online then PHP will send the email through
your ISP's server...

But I've a feeling that you've probably already tried that right?

Subject: [thelist] Jaguar (Mac OS X 10.2), Sendmail and PHP


I'm banging my head against the proverbial wall trying to get sendmail
running under Jaguar (10.2).

I'm using the machine to do local PHP development and all I require is that
the PHP 'mail' command is able to use sendmail to send out test emails from
the machine itself.

I don't need any kind of incoming email facility, so - AFAIKT - I don't need
any kind of daemon running on port 25 that could be used as an open-relay.

All I want is for sendmail to accept mail sent via PHP from localhost to any
address, and then forward it out into the big wide world where it can be
picked up via normal channels.

I've tried the list archives, and numerous online tutorials, but they all
seem to require messing with netconfig, dynamic DNS addresses, local mail
storage and forwarding, etc. All way beyond my requirements.

In essence:

PHP mail command, sending to any address (e.g. user at example.com)
    |
    |
Sendmail picks it up, does its magic, and out through my cable modem
    |
    |
user at example.com on the other side of the world gets it in his mailbox

Nothing fancy. No need to collect mail, etc.

Fairly new to all this Unix stuff, but comfortable with the command line. I
need some hand-holding to do what I need without complications and needless
dynamic, local mail delivery etc.

Any one help?

TIA

Andy W
