Mail not being sent. using sendmail

[zoomforce]

Ok another newbie question!

I installed sendmail today not really knowing what the hell I was doing.. anyways;

I set up a form, used formail to process, and there seems to be a problem, because as far as formail is concerned everything is hunky dorry, but the emails not being sent.

am i supossed to configure sendmail somewhere? I just installed it.

Another note, in my var/spool/mail folder everytime i run the formail script, the apache "email message" file increases and updates... i dont know what that means, I take it sendmail sends the message to that file, and its supposed to get sent out..

Im hoping Rhytmace is in the house cause he always helps, but help form anyoe that knows whats up would be much appreciated.

You need to start httpd. Post this in the apache forum and let me know what version of redhat you have and I can tell you how to have it start at bootup. In the mean time, you should be able to start it with "apachectl start".
