How to properly configure sendmail to delivery message? [closed]
I bought a VPS from OVH.
This Ubuntu VPS hostname is something like vps12345
or vps12345.ovh.net
.
If I test sendmail via command line to send an email to my mail [email protected], it works: I receive an email from test@[email protected]
.
But I'd like to send mail from my installed domain (for instance: [email protected]
), and if test from my PHP code, mail sent to Gmail arrives but with a lot time late.
So I suppose that Gmail (or anyother email provider) don't accept emails with header from X domain, but from an hostname Y...
So how can I send email from my vps12345 using other domain (which I own and host on that VPS)?
Do I need to rename VPS hostname?
Thanks
Proper way: change host FQDN (fully quallified domain name) as reported by hostname
command (typically hostname --fqdn
). The exact procedure may by OS/Distribution dependand.
Sendmail only fix: "who am I" in cf/README file in sendmail distribution.
=>define confDOMAIN_NAME
in sendmail.mc file and generate new sendmail.cf
(submit.cf may also require changes).
