the php file is public with 777 chmod. From my understanding the sendmail is not accepting mail function call from browser because when I did this on the command line its working. How do I set that the sendmail will permit the browser mail function call.

I would place money on if being an option in the config.  Mine lives in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
Try altering that and then make it.

Strange thing is that the server should regard it as a local user trying to send mail.  It will receve the message from the local apache user on your mashine.  Can you send mail from the apache account?  (loggin as root, su apache etc).  That could shed lighit on the area!

Im leaning more towords it being  a code thing.  Perhaps your sendmail is asking for authorisating?
