Apache / PHP / sendmail

I moved my forums from a hosting provider to my home Arch install.  Currently emails are not being sent out.  I noticed that /usr/sbin/sendmail didn't exist so installed postfix which resolved that issue.  However emails are still not working. Any ideas what the issue might be or at least where the error logs would be?

Re: Apache / PHP / sendmail

Hi.

When you say your "home Arch install" do you mean a server at your home location? If yes then I guess the most likely culprit is either:
a) Your IP is blacklisted (Quite possible with consumer grade ISPs)
b) Your ISP is messing something up (Some ISPs disallow email traffic)
c) Your DNS isn't configured correctly and foreign servers refuse to deliver our mail.
