Not a thing.  Nothing in /tmp/horde.log either.

I'm starting to think the problem is with sendmail now.
I downloaded squirrelmail, and I'm getting the exact same thing.

I've tried both local sendmail, and SMTP delivery (to localhost, to the
name of the local box and to a remote sendmail server).  Everything I
try fails with nothing in any log file.

I know the sendmail is installing and running, since I'm trying to run
these web based mail packages on my main email server.  It runs pop3,
imap, and sendmail for all my company's outgoing email.  I've telneted
into port 25 on the mail server and have sent email that way too.

Is there something that needs to be configured in a default Redhat 7.2
install to allow sending email?  Or running programs like
/usr/sbin/sendmail?  Something for user "apache"?  Something in php.ini?
I know that sendmail is setup correctly to allow relaying, since I've
tested it from the command line with sendmail many times.  WEIRD!
