是否安装Sendmail

检查下php.ini设置是否正确
cat /etc/php.ini | grep sendmail_path
正确的结果应该类似这样
sendmail_path = sendmail -t -i

检查下sendmail是否安装
which sendmail
正常的结果应该类似这样
/usr/sbin/sendmail

如果上面的路径没有找到sendmail
检查下是否安装了包
yum list installed | grep sendmail
这时的情况又分为二种：
如果安装了这个包，就给卸载了重新装一遍。
如果没装，直接装上。

sendmail—stat=Service unavailable

今天尝试着想要在linux终端上直接用mail命令（e.g: echo “hello” | mail -s “hello test” xxx@139.com）给我139.com的邮箱发邮件时，139.com邮箱根本收不到，但是总是可以在/var/mail/root下面找到我刚才发的邮件，其实这是因为发送失败了，从而被sendmail回退了邮件回来。

要想看失败原因, check /var/log/maillog：

后来在google上找了很多，最后终于找到原因了：

I fixed the problem by changing the hostname of my server. Apparently “localhost.localdomain” will get rejected automatically by a lot of mail servers. As soon as I changed my hostname to “extra.idahostatesman.com” (a domain that is hosted on the server), everything just worked and I had no more problems sending e-mail.

可以用hostanme 命令临时修改主机名，hostname aa.com; 还是失败了

切记：修改完hostname以后需要重启sendmail 服务，重启服务后，一切ok.

PHP Mail函数伪造发件人

bool mail  ( string $to  , string $subject  , string $message  [, string $additional_headers  [, string $additional_parameters  ]] )

在第六个参数additional_parameters使用额外的参数”-f sender_addr@mydomain.com”, 问题就解决了。
