[NTLUG:Discuss] PHP revisited:need more info please

[Jack Snodgrass]

<?
$to_user      = "llliiilll at hotmail.com";
$from_name    = "M M";
$from_email   = "llliiilll at hotmail.com";
$mailheaders .= "From: $from_name <$from_email>\n\n";
$subject      = "test sent via php mail()";
$msg_body     = "test message sent via php script.\n";
$rc = mail($to_user, $subject, $msg_body, $mailheaders);
?>

works ( I think ) on my php box. My box uses postfix and just 
uses the sendmail front end. Not sure how the qmail thing
would come into effect?
