Okay, thanks. I've installed mini_sendmail, and it still fails.
However, the lack of any errors from PHP is making this very hard
to track down.

Is there a way of finding out exactly why the mail() call is failing?
I've created my own fake sendmail binary which merely outputs to a
file if its called, and it doesn't run when mail() is called.
Which suggests a PHP configuration problem, though PHP.ini has been
modified to point to this binary (plus PHP should find it in /usr/bin
as well, even from within the chroot).
