The mail function stopped working when I upgraded to the CVS snapshot (the last couple actually).  Apparently the message is being sent but not to the receipent? 

Here's a simple script:
<?php
mail("dfelteau@isx.com","Test Subject","This is a test.","Reply-To:webmaster@isx
.com","-fwebmaster@isx.com");
?>

Here's the /var/log/maillog:
Nov 12 16:22:51 voyager sendmail[29482]: [ID 801593 mail.info] gACLMpx29482: Authentication-Warning: isx.com: nobody set sender to webmaster@isx.com using -f

Check you maillog for possible errors in sending the email.
(this is not any bug in PHP btw, it works fine here)
