The mail send function does not work.
there are no errors.

the sendmail path is correct (php.ini / configure scan) and sendmail works fine
(manuall + cgi mail)

there no errors to see in logs.

sendmail never becomes a mail from php
(if i use a php mail script, then sendmail log neves shows 
from .... > to ..... so i think php never contact sendmail to send the mail)

on other servers (redhat and other dist.) i dont have problems with mail functions.

if you need more information please say it.

thank you-

What's the return value of mail(), is it false ?

Have you tried calling sendmail from command line if it properly works?

nope

>Have you tried calling sendmail from command line if it >properly works?
this works fine, it works to fine to send mail from a cgi form. It only looks that the php doesnt "contact" sendmail.
on other servers/Dist. works fine.

sorry for bad. english

PHP needs an executeable shell to run the sendmail binary; make sure a sheel is executeable at least by the apache user (/bin/sh or /bin/bash).

Anyway it's a system configuration error, not a PHP bug.

This is a Bug... It should return true or false 100% of the 
time...  If it can't get a shell it should log an error 
somewhere.
