That will not work, as others have pointed out.  On Unix you shouldn't
need to change the default settings in your php.ini file for mail to
work at all.

Well, yes.  You didn't tell us what your mail log contained regarding
the attempt to send mail.  So:

Is the message still in the local queue?

What does the mail log show when you try to send the email?

Does your mail server work in general?  You indicated that 'mail -s blah
foo at bar' works, right?
