a little help for people hitting the same problem that stumped me for the last hour or so: if you are trying to send mail using php's mail() function, but it is not working and qmail-inject: fatal: read error in your apache httpd error log, you need to edit /etc/profile.d/qmail-run.sh and remove (or comment out) the references to QMAILMFTFILE, log out and back in again (or just unset that environment variable), and stop and restart apache. (this comes via the qmail-run rpm when installing qmail using the rpms on redhat.)

what a dumb setting to make part of the default environment.

apartment hunting. (the commitment of $60 could probably be taken to mean i'm more serious this time than history would suggest about moving.)

based on the poking around i've done so far, i may end up paying more than even my recently inflated rent, but i'm looking at more space and much better locations.

i wish i had better maps of the areas i'm looking at, or were more familiar with the areas. it's hard to get a good sense of things just from looking at maps.yahoo.com.
