I'm on Apache so I'm good, but I also had to send mail and it got to be a real pain, so what I figured out instead of all this pain. Is create a basic page give page a custom url 'page-name' create a page suggestion like page--page-name.tpl.php strip out the html completely then include your php ajax code. This gives you access to all that drupal has to offer with out going through what I just went through.Yipee!! <div>
