tasksel mail-server; it ain't working

[ChrisBuchholz]

Hi,

I have setup an Apache2 server with PHP5 and MySQL+PHPMyAdmin which are fully functionel, but I also want to be able to send mails from PHP, so I've ran sudo tasksel install mail-server, but it ain't working.

I have restarted apache and everything, but it doesn't work. PHP doesn't say it can send the mail, but I never recieve 'em in my inbox either.

How do I fix it?

Install nullmailer and forward mail to your ISP mail server:

Can you please come with some more details? Especially because I only will need to send a few e-mails from php to check if things are working before they get on the ftp. I just need the most simplistic setup which just works almost out-of-box.

Nullmailer is in the Intrepid repositories, so there is no need to try and convert it from an rpm to deb.


Have a look at this thread (http:///ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=56077) for a hwoto.
