[K12OSN] Using a remote mail server and letting apache have access to it

[jones yeates]

Hi,

I apologize if this is the wrong place to be asking this.  I've been
searching on the web for answers and I can't seem to find any.  A friend
told me about this list serve and thought I'd give it a try.

I had php,mysql and apache running on a Windows box last year and I have
just changed it to a Linux box this year.  Everything works except for my
abiity to send mail that I have generated through my php script.

I do not want my Linux server to act as a mail server.  There is one in my
school board and I would like to just send mail through there.  I noticed
that in Linux I have to send it to a program that will re-route the message
appropriately.  I was also able to have a different domain name appear in
the e-mail's subject section, so that the kids could not track it back to my
server.

So basically what I would like is:
- send e-mails through php/apache
- not have the server's domain name appear in the "from" part of the e-mail
or even in the subject
- have a different domain name appear in the e-mail message
- just relay all messages to the school board's mail server
- I don't want to use the mail server feature on my server other than to
forward e-mails to the school board's mail server

I have installed Fedora Core 5
- php 5.1.4
- mysql 5.0.22
- apache 2.2.2
- sendmail

I have entered:  define('confTRUSTED_USERS','apache'); into the
sendmail.mcfile and tried to do a make -C /etc/mail and it doesn't
seem to work.  If it
is working there is a huge delay (for days).

I can get mail or mailx to send messages but not through apache.

Does anyone know how to set this up?

Thank you.
