PHP Sendmail [SOLVED]

I am trying to use a PHP script to send mail with the PHP mail() function. Looking at phpinfo(), I see "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i" for the local and master values of sendmail_path. However, if I manually issue "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i" as root, I receive the error "-bash: /usr/sbin/sendmail: No such file or directory". Do I need to install sendmail? I cannot find a package for it on Arch... Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Try postfix, courier-mta or ssmtp.  All of them have a sendmail binary.  If you don't need a full-blown mta, ssmtp may be the best bet, but any will do.

Just switched to postfix and it works perfectly for me. Thanks!
