Trying to configure PHP mail() function

Hi, I am totally new to PHP and I am attempting to configure my php.ini file to use the sendmail function so I can receive mail through my PHP scripts. I have already gone to the PHP website and read the instructions and assigned my "sendmail_path" to the default specified (/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i), but it is still not sending mail.

Is there another part of the configuration I am missing? Can anyone help? Thanks!

what hosting site are you using? I finally figured it out using the canned godaddy scripts. dunno whether you would have those scripts available...
