[TriLUG] sending mail with PHP

[Brian Henning]

A-HA!!!
Okay, I haven't fixed it yet, but I believe I am MUCH closer.
Today I had the revelation...  Since I can't seem to find any useful data in
the logs, and since PHP's mail() function simply invokes /usr/sbin/sendmail,
how about I do a verbose sendmail command in the shell and see what it tells
me?  And here's the kicker:

[me at it]$ /usr/sbin/sendmail -v -t
To: <brian at strutmasters.com>
From: <brian at strutmasters.com>
Subject: Testing, you creep!
Yeah, that's right, chump, this is a test!
.
<brian at strutmasters.com>... Connecting to [127.0.0.1] via relay...
<brian at strutmasters.com>... Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

Dun dun dunnnn!  Connection refused by 127.0.0.1.  Just as I was beginning
to suspect.  So the question now becomes, where do I start tinkering to get
sendmail to accept connections from localhost?  I'll be nosing around while
I wait for replies; I just figured someone who knew might be able to reduce
the number of shots I have to take in the dark.

Cheers,
~Brian
