I have a piece of software that utilizes php's mail function. However I recently switched to a new dedicated server which has qmail installed and I can no longer send emails using the mail function. How do I get php to work with qmail?

Are you using SMTP or mail() to send mail from PHP script ?

If it is PHP mail() function, you need to check php.in file and see if sendmail path is set correctly.

If you use SMTP, you may need to check if relay for your server is allowd in qmail.

i'm using the mail() function and I've tried setting the path to both /var/qmail/bin/sendmail and /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject

however neither worked, and I checked if those paths are correct, and the files are there

What is the sendmail_path in phpinfo ?

try using "-t -i" parameter with sendmail.

I tried using -t -i with the path, and that didn't work.

Where can I find phpinfo?

PHP Info, you can see it with function

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

Or through shell

# php -i
