[wellylug] mailx and Php

[Phillip Hutchings]

They do the same thing, but they use different interfaces. PHP is
expecting the sendmail command line options to work and mail doesn't
use them to my knowledge.

You wrote: mail "email at address" -s "subject"

Sendmail would use:
echo "Subject: subject\r\nTo:email at address\r\n\r\nBody" > sendmail -t

So switch PHP to use what it expects to use and you should be fine.
