Chuck: Thank you very much for your assistance. I think I can take it from here and resolve the issue. If you'd like, you can close this bug report as resolved... or wait and I'll post my steps to correct the issue. Thanks

At this point I'm out of ideas. Look at your sendmail logs, play with the pclose results, etc.

I think we're getting closer. I still get an error message, but this time the error code that php thinks sendmail returned was a -1 (not 255). Should I try changing the bits that shift the error code? Thanks again.

Ah. Apparently this hasn't made it into a Mail release yet - try this patch: http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/pear/Mail/Mail/sendmail.php?php=7bd81af9d938bb31f10b2461a7101759&r1=1.8&r2=1.9&ty=u

Thanks for the suggestion. Pear Mail package 1.1.4 is installed; pear Mail_MIME package 1.2.1 is also installed. While I can (and will) upgrade it to 1.3.0, I doubt that will help with this issue.

and do you have the latest PEAR Mail package release?

When manually sending a message with sendmail, NO error condition is generated. Only when sendmail is called from the horde framework does an error message get generated. I have tried submitting this question on the lists, and I get no response. What would I like you to do? Treat this as if it may be a real problem... not shrug it off with some flipant response.. make some suggestions on what I could look at or try.

I'm running Horde 3.0.4 Imp 4.0.2 on a Solaris 9 system. In the Horde setup, I have configured the Mailer to use the sendmail binary and the path is correct and it does work. I have tried sending several messages from this system manually and they are sent without errors. When I try to send a message from the Compose window within Imp, an error message is returned: "There was an error sending your message: sendmail returned error code 255" However, the message is sent, but a copy is not stored in the sent-mail IMAP folder. I have the logging option set to debugging level and I get the following entry listed in the syslog: [imp] sendmail returned error code 255 [on line 904 of "/usr/local/share/apache/webmail/horde-3.0.2/imp-h3-4.0.1/compose.php"] I've looked at line 904 of compose.php but it looks to be a little vague about the possible error. The mail log (also set to the debugging level within the syslog daemon) shows no errors or problems other than the following line: Authentication-Warning: horde.bucknell.edu: www set sender to dahlberg@bucknell.edu using -f Mike Dahlberg
