ssmpt : how to configure php?

  • 772

I isntalled successfull ssmtp: 

/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf

[email protected]
[email protected]
mailhub=ssl0.ovh.net:587
#mailhub=ns0.ovh.net:587
UseSTARTTLS=YES
FromLineOverride=YES
[email protected]
AuthPass=********

And trying it with:

 echo content | mail -s "subject" [email protected]

This works and I do receive email

my ssmpt seems also ok:

 ls -la /usr/sbin/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Jul 15  2014 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> ssmtp

my php.ini has: 

sendmail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i"

However, when I try to send email through the mail() function: I receive FALSE

tail /var/log/apache2/error.log

gives me: sendmail: Cannot open mailhub:25

Any idea ?

email ssmtp

  1. It looks like ssmtp doesn't support the -i argument, and requires -oi instead. Note that -oi means the same thing and should work on other sendmail implementations.

    Could you try changing your sendmail command to /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -oi?
