如何设置Debian Linux默认的外发邮件/ sendmail应用程序/脚本？

Question

I'm unfamiliar with Linux, but I'm trying to send mail from PHP. Via SSH, I've found my server's sendmail and mail functions to be incapable of sending mail through SMTP. But, I've had success with nc (Netcat) and telnet. Is there a way to switch a server's default mail sending application? E.g. from sendmail or mail to nc or telnet?

Answer 1

What's in your php.ini file under sendmail_path? (Probably at /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini)

eg:

sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail 

You need this to point into the correct location for your sendmail for mail() to work
