[support] mailing error in general

[Metzler, David]

The answer depends on whether your server is linux or windows.  There
are PHP specific settings in the php.ini file that control this
behavior.  The linux ones rely on a properly installed and configured
sendmail, the windows ones just require you to provide the server that
you're sending mail to. 

Here's what the php.ini settings look like.  

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = me at localhost.com

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail
-t -i").
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

Hi all,

I experienced funny things on my newly installed site: Drupal can't send
emails, like I can't send newsletters with Simplenews, and I assume that
the contact forms also don't work.

This server uses PHP 4.4.1 which I wouldn't touch due to various
reasons.

My question is: what PHP configuration Drupal needs exactly to send
mails?

It is quite important for me, so any help will be more that appreciated.


Best regards,
Tibor
