Excellent solution!

Spent two days going through the whole system! The solution works for Sendmail 8.14.x and WordPress MU 2.9.1!

Thank you very much

Thanks for the tip. I couldn't get the contact form in WordPress to work. But then I used your suggestion above and this fixed the problem immediately.

Thanks,

Rebekah

isMail() and isSendMail() are seperate functions of phpmailer. I wish I could find the original thread in the forums about this. But I do have this which may or may not help: http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com/index.php?pg=methods which explains (albeit vaguely) the difference between those two methods…

I'm still having trouble with this…
Do you have to restart wordpress somehow for the changes to take affect? Or should it work right away?

Doesn't IsMail use PHP's mail() function which uses sendmail anyway??

honestly, i really think people should get away from the bloatware that is wordpress. this is just one more example…

why can't they put that in the wp-config.php file?
