Re: [PHP-DEV] [PHP] mail() help (fwd) From: Jani Taskinen (sniper <email protected>)

This is most likely the patch that 'broke' it;

----------------------------
revision 1.121
date: 2001/02/21 07:39:13; author: sas; state: Exp; lines: +2 -2
Instead of assuming that sendmail lives in /usr/lib, if we don't find it,
we also check /usr/lib now.

PR: #9362
----------------------------
-AC_PATH_PROG(PROG_SENDMAIL, sendmail, /usr/lib/sendmail, $PATH:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib)
+AC_PATH_PROG(PROG_SENDMAIL, sendmail,[], $PATH:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib:/usr/lib)

I think this is good. If some resource isn't available, then the function
using the resource shouldn't be enabled either. So the correct fix would
be to add a error message to mail() function, IMO.
