PHP mail() does not work on VPS network

[Fred]

Hi folks,

I am new on Jag and here is my problem.
I have a Jaguar VPS with Debian Sarge and Apache 2.0.54. I installed via apt-get install PHP4 and Postfix.

But PHP mail() does not work, I do not know why...
I set up php.ini with this variations:
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
or
sendmail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i"

PHP script looks like:
mail("recipient@domain.com", "test", "this is just a test mail");


mail log file shows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
vps ~# Jan 13 08:32:00 vps postfix/pickup[5298]: D3210250CC00C: uid=33 from=<www-data>
Jan 13 08:32:00 vps postfix/cleanup[19231]: D3210250CC00C: message-id=<20070113143200.D3210250CC00C@vps.myd omain.com>
Jan 13 08:32:00 vps postfix/cleanup[19231]: D3210250CC00C: to=<unknown>, relay=none, delay=0, status=bounced (No recipients specified)
Jan 13 08:32:00 vps postfix/cleanup[19264]: D8B80250CC01D: message-id=<20070113143200.D8B80250CC01D@vps.myd omain.com>
Jan 13 08:32:00 vps postfix/qmgr[31188]: D8B80250CC01D: from=<>, size=2207, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Jan 13 08:32:00 vps postfix/local[19265]: D8B80250CC01D: to=<www-data@vps.mydomain.com>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (delivered to command: procmail -a "$EXTENSION")
Jan 13 08:32:00 vps postfix/qmgr[31188]: D8B80250CC01D: removed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it seems postfix does not understand the recipient. But the from is also not found. Do not understand why...


Well, this is the postfix config in etc/postfix/main.conf
(I changed my domain name to: mydomain.com within this thread.)
------------------------------------------------
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
biff = no

# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no

myhostname = vps.mydomain.com
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = vps.mydomain.com, localhost.mydomain.com, localhost
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
mailbox_size_limit = 51200000
recipient_delimiter =
inet_interfaces = all
------------------------------------------

Please take a look at
myhostname = vps.mydomain.com
and
mydestination = vps.mydomain.com, localhost.mydomain.com, localhost

Jag told me my VPS computer name is vps.mydomain.com and my VPS main domain is mydomain.com
Could it be that here is the problem happened by the automatical apt-get install of postfix?

I have to less experiance with VPS network (kind of network with 3 IPs) too figure out if this settings are the problem.

I am happy for every advice or idea that may help.

Sincerely
Fred

[quote]sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail/[quote]

I take it that's the path to your sendmail wrapper and that you don't actually have sendmail installed.
