I'm using Zend Server Community Edition.  Apparently it is launched 
pointing to a different php.ini (/usr/local/zend/etc/php.ini) and the 
libphp5.so is compiled WITHOUT a sendmail path.

Even though I used "ini_set('sendmail_path', '/usr/sbin/sendmail')" in 
the program it apparently had no effect.

Only after setting the path in Zend Server CE's php.ini would the mail 
command work.

Zend claims it is not a bug stating, "even though the traditional path 
is /usr/sbin/sendmail one cannot always be certain that is true for all 
distributions".

10 days on this and miles behind schedule...
