Problem:
I am unable to send out emails via “Communicate” (in the backend “Tools”) and using web forms. I am however able to send emails from the server using the stock “email_test.php” script. I have tried using PHP’s mail function as a backend setting, as well as Sendmail.

Current configuration is:
EE 2.5.5
PHP 5.2.17
Multiple Site Manager 2.1.4
Sendmail_path: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

When I attempt to send email using PHP’s mail function, I receive the following message:

Unable to send email using PHP mail(). Your server might not be configured to send mail using this method.

When I attempt to send email with Sendmail, I am getting the following message:

Exit status code: 8

Unable to open a socket to Sendmail. Please check settings.

Unable to send email using PHP Sendmail. Your server might not be configured to send mail using this method.

Any pointers or tips would be greatly appreciated.
