So in summary, the following was done: - Setup sendmail such as the sendmail that came with OpenBSD or use some other agent like Postfix such that you can do a `dmesg | mail -s "Sony VAIO 505R laptop, apm works OK" dm...@openbsd.org` on the command line.
- Install femail-chroot from package, this places a binary called femail in /var/www/bin/ - Change sendmain_path in php.ini. This defaults to "sendmail -t -i". Change it to "/bin/femail -t -i" - cp /bin/ksh /var/www/bin/; cp /bin/sh /var/www/bin/; "femail itself does not use or need sh. whatever invokes it might need it.", Henning Brauer.
