php and sendmail

hi,
I try to use php and sendmail on my mac.
so far I managed to make sendmail run, but it doesen´t work with php.
whenever I try to send a mail using the mail(); or popen(); command of php, I got this in my mail.log:

Aug 12 10:01:07 bruno sendmail[462]: starting daemon (8.12.9): queueing@01:00:00
Aug 12 10:29:12 bruno sendmail[448]: File descriptors missing on startup: stdin, stdout, stderr; Bad file descriptor
Aug 12 10:29:12 bruno sendmail[448]: gethostbyaddr(192.168.0.2) failed: 3
Aug 12 10:29:12 bruno sendmail[459]: starting daemon (8.12.9): SMTP+queueing@01:00:00
Aug 12 10:29:12 bruno sendmail[461]: File descriptors missing on startup: stdin, stdout, stderr; Bad file descriptor
Aug 12 10:29:12 bruno sendmail[462]: starting daemon (8.12.9): queueing@01:00:00

...and nothing happens :-(

I have set the sendmail_path in the php.ini to:
sendmail_path= /usr/sbin/sendmail

any ideas what is wrong there ?

thanks a bunch

Stephan,

Is your sendmail configured properly? Do you have it using your ISP's servers for outgoing mail?

actually sendmail was not configured properly. I didn´t know that I have to use masquerading to use sendmail for testing porpuses, without a ISP.

now I have found a very easy way for mac users to enable sendmail.
thanks to bernard teo who has written the "sednmail enabler", it takes just 2 minutes to make sendmail run on a OS X mac.

with the soon to be released version 1.1.3 even masquerading is a cakewalk, I have tried it by myself.

thanks for your help
