I would like to thank you all for all the info you gave me and the php.ini file! Your suggestions have been really useful and I made some progresses, but I've still got problems :-( I changed the MAILSERVER line to YES as you said, and now sendmail should start every time I reboot, but I haven't yet resolved some configurations problems. As you all suggested I looked again in several websites and followed many instructions I've finally found. However it still doesn't work :-( The last and *most important* thing left to do is to start sendmail, but I always get errors like: A) "Failed to start sendmail : 451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 81: fileclass: cannot open /etc/mail/local-host-names: Group writable directory" B) "Failed to start sendmail : /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: WARNING: dangerous write permissions 451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 81: fileclass: cannot open /etc/mail/local-host-names: Group writable directory" I've got this errors either trying to start sendmail using the terminal or an interesting applications called "Webmin" I've found looking around for more information. Webmin allows to manage from your browser various items like Apache, sendmail and similar stuff, more easily than doing it through the terminal (at least for a beginner like me). I always get the same errors and I believe it is because of the file "local-host-names" privileges. I tried changing them in any combination, but it still doesn't work... I will continue trying and hope to get it fixed , if not I will download another mail server I found looking for info. It is called "post fix" and, as I read, should be easier to configure and use than sendmail. Do you think this could be a valid solution? Thanks again for the patience and the kindness.
