What are the steps to make the php mail() function work on ubuntu-server?
Solution 1:
- The
sendmailpackage. No problems with it really, might even be installed by default. # echo "test" | mail -s "test" [email protected]- None other then that. Check out the reference page.
Solution 2:
- If you want to just send mail (without full blown MTA), you can install nullmailer packages.
- Yes, you have to allow outgoing connections to TCP port 25. To be more restrictive, open only to your SMTP server address.
