[FlorianD_______]

Hi,

I'm experiecing some issue with the php function mail(). No mails can get out and no errors from php. Is there any menu where we can paramater this php function ?
Do I need to check up some services ?

CentOS 6.5 with Plesk 11.5
Fresh install

Thanks for your answers

Hi ForianD,

try the following command from Shell:
tail -f /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog

Now call your mail() Function and see if it actually reaches the local Mailserver and why it might be dropped.
You can posts the output of the log here if you wish.

Regards,
Kristian

Hi,

Thanks for your reply

It seems that the local smtp server is trying to deliver the mail locally and not outside the server.
Is there a way to activate le smtp server to get outside ?

Hi,

try the following:
(Not sure it will work)

# /usr/local/psa/bin/domain -u domain.tld -mail_service false

As an alternative, which I have also never tried:
# /usr/local/psa/bin/domain -u domain.tld -mail_service_node_ip <IP address>

The first command is only suitable if there is absolutly no local Mailboxes for that domain on the Plesk Node.
The second one I'm not sure if it only works for PPA Envirourments or for all.

Please do give Feedback if either helped. I'd try the first solution first if thats possible.

Regards,
Kristian

 

[FlorianD_______]

It works !

I just understood that a domain that is configured as local website with external MX is concidered a being able to delivery by local smtp

Thanks for your help

 

[KristianM]

Hi,

that is correct.
If I understood right you will be able to configure this within Plesk as of version 12.0.
So no CLI will be required as of then I hope

Kristian

Hi,

you will have to disable TLS/SSL.
Then it should work fine.

[ErsanG]

Hi Kristian,

can you please tell me how and where I can deactivate TLS/SSL?

BR,

Edit:

when using Port 25 in the settings the echo was:

when using Port 465 in the settings the echo was:

Aug 15 19:00:13 v37367 msmtp: host=smtp.1blu.de tls=on auth=on user=u188719_0-website from=admin_qt [email protected] errormsg='the server sent an empty reply' exitcode=EX_PROTOCOL

An authentication issue? How do I resolve this?

 

[ErsanG]

when i use this comand via shell it works:

[root@v37367 etc]# /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f "[email protected]" <<EOF
From: Someone <[email protected]>
To: [email protected]
Subject: blabla
lblblblb
EOF

What does your code look like?
Looks like you did not set the sender address right?

Hi,

in this command you set the sender right.
So it works.

Hi Kristian,

I might found the Problem.
1.) I switched back from MSMTP to postfix
2.) I set the correct external smtp mail server informations in the php.ini
3.) now I can send via the quantitec.de/test/sendmail.php but still not via the contact form in wordpress quantitec.de/kontakt

 

[KristianM]

Hi,

what does Apache log and what is logged in maillog when executing the contact form?

Regards,
Kristian

 

[ErsanG]

ok i restartet the server now it works
