Okay, it show a sendmail connection, but size=0...

If using smtp to send it, then yes. If using the command line sendmail
inteface, then less likely, but still possible.

That isn't good.  Do a "rpm -ql php | grep -i pear" and see where pear
is installed by the RPM.  Make sure that is the path you put in your php.ini.

They should have a pear in them, but the question is where they were installed.

I believe so.

Yes, if you point it at it.  So check your paths as stated above.

No, in theory not.  Just make sure you are using the correct ones.
