Hi timoumi,

have a look at manual - global parameters - page 4 and 5. This should help. If not, please don't hesitate to come back to this forum.

Hello I struggled with sendmail on Ubuntu and was nearly to give up 🙁

So if you use an external smpt for sending, here is the easy solution.

On Ubuntu sendmail configuration is extremely difficult with an external smtp.
It is much easier with ssmtp.

Install ssmtp and your live is much easier B)

Thanks for sharing.. 🙂
Yes, it's true. It is much easier with ssmtp. I already install it 🙂 🙂

I using version 3.2.2 and tried but i not run

email of administrator: xxxx@gmail.com
'from' email when sending ...: xxxx@gmail.com
'reply' email when sending ...: xxxx@gmail.com
smtp server: smtp.gmail.com
smpt port: 587
.... (on version 3.2.2 don't have smtp login name or smpt login password)

Someone help me? Many thanks !

Gmail SMTP server requires authentication.
This functionality has been introduced in V3.4.
So concider upgrading ...

I used version 4.4.2 but it not run and alert "Not able send to email '.......'. Contact your administrator". What's the reason?

Possibly because Gmail SMTP server listens to port 465.
Also, add protocole before smtp server : ssl://smtp.gmail.com
RTFM

I also try this but....

but ?

what error in log file ?

Help me plz !

Hi,

Message is clear : connection fails.
But the error returned by the connect function gives no information (it is what is on the "PHPMail debug :" line.
Now you must find why.
It can be :
- invalid credentials (user / password)
- port 465 blocked by your network

What is sure is that such config should run (I use it on my side for devs).

I have another mail using that port,...so that is the reason
And you can show me the way to backup & restore database to disapear error when restore(i want to upgrade from v3.2.2 to new version and backup database before). Tks
