 * My mail from WordPress works fine until I install my preferred Mail Server.
 * I am running of Redhat/Fedora platforms and the problem is consistent on both.
 * Axigen requires that sendmail be deactivated in order to function, there fore
   I assume (I know) that WordPress is trying to use sendmail.
 * Is there anyway to change this?

 * Hi,
 * It may be possible that your hosting service provider has disabled PHPMail() 
   function. Hence, you can not send the email. Have a check with this plugin;

 * Thanks for the tip Shane, problem is that I am self hosted. Something had to 
   turn of the PHPMail() function that I do not know about.
 * I have loaded the wp-email plug-in and will try that. Next I am headed over to
   Axigen if that does not work.
