Why not? Do you get an error when you send email via an PHP script?

not show error but can't send email

code :
echo mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)

not echo no 0 or 1

You should be able to see some error when you try it either on the /var/log/maillog or on the domain logs

Look like PHP not config

sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

or not ?

 

[Kaspar]

Generally you don't need to explicitly add /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i to the sendmail_path configuration because it's the default already. See PHP documentation.

Maybe there is something in your PHP configuration that removes or overwrites the default sendmail_path value?

Is this for one domain only? Or for all domains on the server?

What is the output output when you run:

grep -R "sendmail_path =" /opt/plesk/php/*

?

i not found error

Rejecting message: system user is not allowed to send mail

in /var/log/maillog

like https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/...er-The-user-user-is-not-allowed-to-send-email

In my case, this is:

When selecting PHP version 5.6 or 7.0.3, the default PHP settings for sending emails do not specify the email sending command.

But when selecting PHP from version 7.4 and above, the path for sending email will be specified.

This problem occurred when I used PHP to send a message using the command:

echo mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)

Normally, a 1 is returned when the message is successful. However, the problem I encountered was that no message was sent, and no status was displayed indicating whether the message was successful. And no error message logs were found in php or mail logs.

If I enter the command

sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

Adding just one domain to work.

 

[Kaspar]

That's odd and to be honest I am not sure what would cause this, as the output of grep -R "sendmail_path =" /opt/plesk/php/* shows that there are no other values defines for the sendmail_path parameter. Perhaps the parameter is overwritten somewhere else, maybe like an .htaccess file?

You could also try to re-install PHP 5.6 and 7.0 modules from Plesk to see if that fixes the issue.

Other than that I am afraid I am out of suggestions.

Looks like a PHP bug initially reported for version 5.2:

• PHP :: Bug #43591 :: strange value for sendmail_path if configure can't find sendmail

There's a second report, so it could very likely affect version 7.0:

• PHP :: Bug #78757 :: Default sendmail_path gets populated incorrectly when sendmail is not found

The workaround to consider is manually adding sendmail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i" into /opt/plesk/php/<php_verion>/etc/php.ini or through Tools & Settings > PHP Settings > PHP 5.6 / 7.0 PHP > php.ini. I hope that helps.

Worked for me, Thanks!
