changed the php.ini file to read:

sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/postfix -t -i

postfix actually changes over the “sendmail” binary I think.

There is a test doc up at:

https://beta.ine.uaf.edu/mailTest.php it contains a simple time function and mail() call. Just edit the email address there to have it send to you.

I test this out and it survives a restart.

Interesting mail headers from that message:
