openshift电子邮件从终端发送，但不是从PHP发送

Question

I'm using OpenShift and I have problem sending email.

It works fine when logged in via ssh, for eg:

echo “Test from Postfix” | mail -s “Test1″ [e-mail]

However if I want to send an email from php code like this:

if (mail ('[e-mail]', "Test Postfix", "Test mail from postfix", "From: [e-mail]"))
  echo "mail sent succesfully";
else 
  echo "couldn't send mail";

It writes "mail sent succesfully", but no email arrives :( Tried without header too, but it's the same.

Checked the settings for smtp, sendmail_path, sendmail_from and smtp_port, both with php -i and phpinfo(). They are the same:

• smtp_port=25
• sendmail_path=(the path that I get with which sendmail)
• smtp=localhost (also tried with ini_set("SMTP", "smtp.mysmtp.com")).

error.log contains no error. I can't find the email.logs.

Can you suggest some solution?

Answer 1

As far as I know, you need a real sender account in order to make it. That's probably why the other answers suggest plugins/libraries. So you need to provide not only a valid SMTP server, but also an account and pass. Agreed however, that it lacks information about the mail not being sent.
