     For the Mail functions to be available, PHP must have access to the
     <literal>sendmail</literal> binary on your system during compile time.
     If you use another mail program, such as qmail or postfix, be sure to
     use the appropriate sendmail wrappers that come with them.  PHP will
     first look for sendmail in your <literal>PATH</literal>, and then in
     the following:  
     <literal>/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib:/usr/lib</literal>.
     It's highly recommended to have sendmail available from your
     <literal>PATH</literal>.  Also, the user that compiled PHP must have
     permission to access the sendmail binary.
