ssmtp always uses a smart host. It can't deliver mail by itself.

edit /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf, make your changes (use your ISP's mail server), and I personally turn on FromLineOverride=yes. You may have to set your hostname in the file, too.

I will give that a try but I seem to be making at least some progress with sendmail (in fact it wasn't properly installed and I had to uninstall ssmtp and reinstall to get it working...) I also had to hardcode /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail into php.ini cos /etc/mail/mailer.conf doesn't look like it's working but anyway -

tux ~ # php /home/antt/tmp/test.php
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Connecting to [127.0.0.1] via relay...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]
<p>Message successfully sent!</p>tux ~ #

Obviously it wasn't successful, and I have done something silly here...
This is frustrating!
Cheers
