Sendmail & PHP

cxuk · 03-15-2005, 03:12 PM

I have a setup with Web://CP, I am using sendmail, PHP, Acpatch...

I stumbled upon this fault because i installed PHPBB and the user activiation dose not send emails either the Billing software i have?

My PHP Config.

Code:

[mail function] 
; For Win32 only. 
SMTP = localhost 

; For Win32 only. 
sendmail_from = me@localhost.com 

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). 
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

I have also tried to change it to sendmail -t -i and i still get the same the email is not sent?

You may have done it but it is not obvious in the post.... :-)

have you checked the /var/log/maillog in the first place to see if there is any problem with sendmail itself?

Hiya i found the following errors in the maillog.... Maybe these could help these were sent by PHP Via the httpd Server....

is this something to do with the ACL's?

Thanks alot!!

I would say it is more likely your sendmail is not configured properly.

Do you know how to setup sendmail? Do you know about /etc/mail/sendmail.mc?

If not, then I would suggest you to try out postfix (http://www.postfix.org/), which is a replacement to sendmail the mail server, and in my opinion, easier to config.

yea i know about that dude ye, so have i got to add webcp and acpach to a list or sumat to enable it to send emails?

ahwkong · 03-15-2005, 04:37 PM

Well, if everyone else except webcp and apache cannot send email out, then by all mean try ACL.

At least it is sendmail problem, so I guess you can solve it easily.

Ha Fixed it!

SMTP Options was Port=25,Addr=10.0.2.2, Name=MTA insed of Port=25,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA

And also added the webservers username to the trusted users list and also alowed it relay and it now works

Thanks for the hints dude

cxuk · 03-15-2005, 04:46 PM

Problem is now that i cant use SMTP via outlook? on my Windows PC so is there any way of puting two IP Address's

Such as Port=25,Addr=127.0.0.1,10.0.2.2, Name=MTA

ive tried that but it did not work???

Is there another way of doing this?

Any reason you can't remove the line completly? That way it works on all interfaces on that server.

cxuk · 03-16-2005, 06:34 AM

So you say if i remove that line out of the config it will alow me to use SMTP on every interface?

cxuk · 03-16-2005, 06:39 AM

Ha thanks for that it now works on every interface...
