Hi Guys,
I have a web server (lighttpd) serving up dokuwiki in a jail, and all works fine, except I can't get a php script to send mail (i.e in a "Contact Form").
I have set up my gmail address SMTP/port detail etc in System->Mail, and inputting my password and sending the test email works .... (it uses my root password)
I have tried sending email with "sendmail" in the jail, but that does not work either ..
What am I missing?
Thanks
Edit: Noticed this in the log:
looks like mail is using www user, does it need to be root?
Actually tried "sendmail" from console root user and that failed the same way.
I am guessing that I need to setup the mailhost in /etc/hosts somewhere, can someone give me any pointers ...
Drat! Found the problem .... seems I had to enable sendmail in /etc/rc.conf .. all good now. Hope this helps someone else.
