Sendmail issues

I've been having a problem with PHP Mail function and have figured out it's related to sendmail. I've tried every tutorial in the world to configure sendmail and have tried every path available.

My issue is that anytime I try anything with sendmail I get the message - Segmentation Fault.

If I run telnet localhost 25 I get this:

220-server.domain.com ESMTP Exim 4.52 #1 Sun, 19 Nov 2006 14:28:38 -0500
220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited,
220 and/or bulk e-mail.

Here is server info:
Linux serv.domain.com 2.6.17-1.2142_FC4 #1 Tue Jul 11 22:41:14 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I believe this is what causing php mail to fail.

Thanks
 
You are running Exim, which provides /usr/sbin/sendmail binary which emulates many of the standard sendmail commands, but does not have the full implementation. That's problem number one, but it's only a minor problem in that that sendmail binary only supports a subset of the real sendmail commands.

The fact that it's segfaulting is the real problem. It's hard to figure out exactly why, and since this not the Exim channel, I'd look around to see if there is an Exim channel on this board (or log on to irc.freenode.org and join the #exim channel and ask for help there).

Your help is very much appreciated and you've given me a great place to start.

Thank you very much.
