RE: [Exim] PHP Form to send emails with Exim

> answer the question.

I did, my solution solved the problem by removing the problem.
Use Perl to an SMTP session with Exim instead of piping to a
program like PHP's mail() does. Much less places it can break, no?

And no paths to worry about or config or if /usr/bin/sendmail
links to exim properly, etc etc.

Perl -> Send
[Perl|PHP|Python|Etc] -> sendmail -> Exim -> Send
