How does sending email work?

[Midda]

Hey all!

I am new to php. I can't get the contact page to send an email out. Is there somewhere in the FAQ app. that I set an smtp address, or do I need something like "sendmail" to process email requests??

Oh, i am using php4 in OS-X

thanks.....!!

Maybe it's an OS-X thing. The path is weird. I see sendmail.php in the PHP4/mail folder, but php.ini can't seem to point to it.

I'll keep trying...

any other ideas? different paths?
