    I’m stuck and any help would be appreciated….

    I am trying to get the Secure Form Mailer plugin to work on my site. The script seems to work fine, but it will not send emails – they just disappear.
    My host states that it uses “/usr/sbin/sendmail” where this plug in needs php mail.

    Is there another plugin or fix that I can use to get this plugin to work with my host?

    The secure form mailer plugin just uses the “mail” command to send the resulting email it creates.

    The downside of the mail command is that it requires that your host has a clue as to what they are doing and have setup their system to actually be able to send email properly. This is sometimes a rather large assumption.

    /usr/sbin/sendmail is fine and correct and is one of the defaults that PHP looks for. However, you may want to have them verify that it’s actually *working* as well.

    The short of it is that you just have to complain to your host. Only they can really tell you why the mail isn’t getting through their systems.
