Anything that does mailing will do it, simple example --

mail("katzj@linuxpower.org", "test email", "this is a test", "From: katzj@linuxpower.org <katzj@linuxpower.org>");

Doesn't even try to connect to sendmail, based on sendmail logs.  Same script worked fine under 3.0.12.  I tried to compile CVS from today, but zend won't compile (separate bug report coming in for that one), so I can't say about that.

./configure  --with-mysql --enable-trackvars --with-apache=../apache_1.3.9.

Can you verify that this is in either the latest CVS or one of the recent snapshots?

This is somewhat a dup of Bug #2708.

The mail is not sent on Win32 platforms if the size is > 4K

Actually, after closer inspection and the help of Evan Klinger, it appears this was due to the fact that sendmail_path was not set.  Under php 3, this caused it to default and work properly, but this is not so with php 4.  Changing sendmail_path to equal the path (with options) of sendmail caused it to begin working.  Should probably either be changed to match the old behavior or marked as a difference between versions.

Thanks
