Can't send mails from php scritp using mail() function

Help! (Home for newbies)

I have done a fresh install of virtualmin on debian lenny.

I have setup the virtual servers and uploaded the sites, but can’t send emails from the sites using the mail function.

Please help

What happens when you try? Do you get any error messages?

Take a look in $HOME/logs/error_log for any PHP errors, and /var/log/mail.log for any errors with the email itself.
