You don't need to modify sendmail's config, you simply need to modify how you are calling sendmail from PHP. Chances are the server you are on already flushes the queue occasionally. You'd need to try to figure out how often, perhaps simply by trial and error.
Since you have no control over the php.ini file, and you can't set this particular ini directive using ini_set(), you will have to call sendmail manually using system(). You don't need to put it into the background since you will just be telling sendmail to queue by passing the correct flags to it, so it should be straightforward. -Rasmus On Wed, 21 Aug 2002, Pupeno wrote: > Rasmus Lerdorf wrote: > > > Simply configure your MTA to queue requests coming from PHP.
