sendmail issues
Out of the box sendmail is a very simple MTA and significantly out of date.
People often suggest using Exim instead, as it’s much simpler to configure and you can use smart hosts for relaying mail.
Is sendmail installed?
Can you change directory to this?:
/usr/bin/sendmailInstalling sendmail
sudo apt-get install sendmailRun Sendmail’s config and answer ‘Y’ to everything:
sudo sendmailconfigRestart Apache:
sudo service apache2 restartConfiguring PHP to use sendmail
Open php.ini to editing
Ensure these lines are set:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = localhost
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 25
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
; http://php.net/sendmail-path
sendmail_path = /usr/bin/sendmail -t -i
