Hi again,
I just wonder if I need to setup email server (postfix,qmail,sendmail) in order to use mail() function in php? If not, what do I have to configure for mail() function to work properly? I'm using CentOS 4.2.
Thanks for your help, JC

Yes, you either need an MTA or at least a message submission program like msmtp or esmtp.

If possible at all, don't use mail(), better use an SMTP class. Anyway, for both you need a working MTA.

Right, a very good annotation about not using the mail() function, but to use i.e.
http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/
or Pear's class
http://pear.php.net/package/Mail
Instead of a fully featured MTA a submitter can be enough, which hands the outgoing mail over to a mail hub (which then typically masquerades ...).
