Greetings,

I am attempting to setup XOOPS and I am experiencing errors with the email functionality. Basically, XOOPS is reporting email errors even though the emails are being sent out.

I am running
Solaris 9 12/03, PHP 4.3.4, Apache 2 (Apache Friends distro)
XOOPS 2.0.6

The mail delivery method is set to PHP mail(). I am testing it by trying the lost password function. I get the following message

Errors
Could not instantiate mail()
Confirmation Mail for glenp mailed.

If I switch the mail delivery method to sendmail, then I get the following message:

Errors
Could not execute /usr/sbin/sendmail
Confirmation Mail for glenp mailed.

Mail is working correctly from the command line using the send command and a simple test page that calls the PHP mail() function also works. Turning on PHP Debug doesn’t show any additional information. Sendmail is configured for outgoing mail only.

Any thoughts?
