'x-mailer: php/' . phpversion();          mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);         #$body = $_post['body'];          #var_dump($prefix);         #var_dump($suffix);         #var_dump($_post['body']);     } }  //$products = array(); $smscustobject = new arrayobject($custlist); #$smsarrayobject = new arrayobject($carrierlist);  $pdo = null; ?> <form action="" method="post">     message body <input name="body" type="text" />     <input type="submit"> </form> 

i had same problem , found after running port testing php script needed configure linux (centos in case) allow httpd access tcp ports using following command on command line:

setsebool httpd_can_network_connect=1

or permanently

setsebool -p httpd_can_network_connect=1

nb: using -p option took on 2 minutes on machine patient

hey presto! mail command worked.

my situation was able send mail isp's smtp server ie mail.optusnet.com.au port 25 command line not using php scripts ran in browser.

also, ensure firewall not interfering php running telnet session smtp host.

eg $telnet mail.optusnet.com.au 25

in case suspect not able send emails command line.

i hope helps
