Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mail()

Hi

When I post a comment (or anyone else posts a comment) I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mail() in /srv/www/htdocs/blog/serendipity_functions.inc.php on line 1394

The comment still goes throught, but it doesn't look too good!

Any ideas?

Robin

Hi

Sorry...this isn't a bug!

Its a problem with my system because I don't have sendmail set up. Is there a way to set up Serendipity to use a different smtp server (for example, my ISP's server - smtp.dsl.pipex.com)???

I would like to have the mail function working as it would be very useful?

Is this possible?

No not at the moment, I suggest you fix mail() instead

Since it's used by many PHP applications.

Does the mail() function rely on the sendmail server?

Is there anyway to test the sendmail server is working correctly?

No idea, try php-general@lists.php.net or php-install@lists.php.net
