Mail operation

[jbl4me]

I am using zencart. I cant seem to get the mail to send properly. How can I tell if PHP is properly connecting to sendmail?

mail("me@mysite.domain","test email","testing email connection");

do i need anything else in the php file?

Update:

I have tested sendmail, and it works, so I it must be PHP.
I then made a "mail.php" like

<?

mail("me@mysite.domain","test email","testing email connection");

?>

Of course replacing the email addy with my own. I then ran the php file. I got an error in the SENDMAIL logs about incorrect data format? So sendmail defantly picks up the mail, just has that error.

Thanks

you could do something like this to check if the mail has sent:

<?php

$themail = mail("to","sub","mess");

if($themail){
    echo "Successfully sent mail";
}else{
    echo "Error in sending mail";
}

?>

Thanks to all for replys, the problem was in my hosts file, in that it was telling my ISPs relay it was "localhost.localdomain" and so the relay was being rejected.

Thanks
