Hi folks,

Plesk 8.3, Cent OS 5, PHP 5.2.5

This is a new server with a relatively fresh os and plesk install and the mail() function in php doesn't work on it. It's returning a false value. I've had a hunt around and from what I can gather this is something to do with security. Using something like phpmailer I can send mail fine but I have rather a lot of client scripts using mail() that I do not want to have to start tampering with.

Can anyone recommend anything to get this working or to investigate further?

Thanks,
martin

Have you checked your logs?

Which logs?
There is nothing in the maillog - it isnt getting that far.

PHP errors are logged to the webserver log. Check the domain's error_log or enable display_errors in your PHP script to see the errors in your browser.

Nothing in the error_log - it isn't a php error as such - there's nothing wrong with the scripts.

are you using ASL?

Hi Scott,
No I'm not. I'm using a lot of the art yum packages - for example the php etc but I dont have an asl sub.
I'm a bit puzzled by this since it is really a fairly virgin installation of the os and plesk - not been much tweaking done at all.
