PHP mail function Under BSD Unix?

Question

Hi;
I have a FreeBSD unix server; and i have tried to create an online application. so i have used the MAIL function of php.
my form wroks successfuly on my computer (using localhost by defining the SMTP) but when uploading it to the server, it takes a long time and at last it does not send the mail without giving any error or warning message (i specify the sendmail_path option as follow:
ini_set ('sendmail_path', 'usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f [e-mail]'); )
so would you please tell me what is the problem and how can i solve it.
Thank you

First of all check the queue of outgoing mails of sendmail. If the mail is queued there, then there is some problem with the sendmail. And if the mail is not there, then the problem in somewhere in PHP (either in configuration or in ur script).
