Hi there... I have a Plesk account and I seem to be having some problems with using PHP mail()...  I have tested this using the below: <?php
$to = "fred@tosomewhere.com";
$from = "admin@somewhereelse.com";
$subject = "test email";
$body = "test body";
$headers = "From:" . $from . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
echo("finished");
?>
substituting emails with valid addresses however I am not receiving them... Is their anything wrong with the Plesk server??? |

The Mail function has been disabled on the Plesk server for now because of a mail bombing. It -should- be re-enabled in a day or two.

Thanks for the respond... Can you please advise if mails pending will be sent? Or does php not work that way... I use a php script to allow users to login to my site... The email is sent automatically. Hope you can help...  |

It looks like the path to sendmail recently changed. This might be your problem (though I don't know, I never used Perl).
Try to use /usr/sbin/sendm2 to send e-mails.

Obviously this was the problem. Are there going to be more changes and where can we read about them?

This change was to stop spamming from the server, and admin never said it publically.
Either way, if theres much more problem with spamming, you won't have to worry at all because mail() will be a disabled function, like on the plesk server.

So there's no way to control mail() on a per-user basis? Like enable it after a few months of being a member?

Probably the old members can get the name of the new path each time it is changed by subscribing to a mailing list?
