RE: [PHP3] ~{;X84~}: [PHP3] about sendmail and mail() From: Richard Adams (php-user-reply <email protected>)
Date: 08/16/99

On the machine that is running this ensure that you set sendmail to "queue"
mode (sometimes called deferred). The default is to "background" which
means it will try direct delivery. If you set it to "queue" then the
message will be spooled on your local machine to be sent out. This stops
your script from getting caught when their is an internet mail glitch.

I can't remember the exact options.
