I installed xampp for linux on a Xubuntu 7.04 . Now i was wondering, i know my mail script is working but however i don't receive any mails. Do I need to change sendmail_path? I don't know in what i should change it, I only installed xampp for linux.

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = mail.home.nl

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = xxxxxx@home.nl

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

Now i've learned to change it in sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail
But do i also need to have a sendmail program?

It's been my experience that in order to use Sendmail, it must be installed.

Sendmail is traditionally not installed on Ubuntu based systems as it uses Postfix as its default MTA.

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude install sendmail
