Hi Brian,

Since you got no help from Mr. Cummings (M.R.Not...) :)

I thought I would chime in since I'm running 10.4.11 on my server with  
an upgraded php to 5.2 I didn't have to do anything special to make it  
work... For me it just worked.

Here is a really basic contact form I whipped up for someone but it  
works on my server, so should work on yours :)

<?PHP

echo "This is just to get me stats in the code ratings";
$from = "[email protected]";
$returnPath = "[email protected]";
$replyTo = "[email protected]";
	//Build the e-mail headers
	$headers .= "From: ".$from."\r\n";
	$headers .= "Return-Path: ".$returnPath."\r\n";
	$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$replyTo."\r\n";

// Write the email
$message = "It Worked!\n\n";


if(mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers)) {
	//header('Location: ');
	echo "Email was sent!";
	}
	else
	{
	echo " <P>Your email was not sent</P>";
}

?>

See if that works for you...
