Php mail doesn't work on the new server
Hello,
The following php code doesn't work on our new Ubuntu server. It doesn't give error message but It doesn't send the email either. I suppose this should be some setting on the server we didn't set.
if(mail($to,$subject,$body
{
}
else
{
print "FAILED sending message<PRE>";
print_r(error_get_last());
}
Thank you

Thank you
Did you set up a mail server like Sendmail or Postfix on your Ubuntu server?
ASKER
No I didn't set up mail server.
Is mail server for both receiving and sending?
I don't know to set one up. Can you send me some links to help?

I would assume a "server" installation would have this by default. First check the processlist to see if postfix or sendmail is running, but if not, simply do below
sudo apt-get install sendmail
sudo /etc/init.d/sendmail startASKER
I think postfix is installed because sudo apt-get install sendmail gave me this:
What next?
Thanx
The following extra packages will be installed:
m4 procmail sendmail-base sendmail-bin sendmail-cf sensible-mda
Suggested packages:
sendmail-doc rmail logcheck resolvconf
The following packages will be REMOVED:
postfix postfix-mysql
The following NEW packages will be installed:
m4 procmail sendmail sendmail-base sendmail-bin sendmail-cf sensible-mda

Do you want to continue [Y/n]?What next?
Thanx
If postfix is already installed, you don't need to install sendmail.
Why not insert the debug lines into your PHP code as i first suggested, and let's see what the error is when you attempt to send mail?
You can also locate your apache error_log on the system, perhaps /var/log/httpd, and do "tail -f error_log" when you submit your form. You should see the error there too.
Then we can know what is happening with the mail attempt.

Ok, I created a php file:
It wrote: Mail sent -> but I didn't get anything
<?php
ini_set('display_errors','1');
ini_set('display_startup_errors','1');
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
$to = "mymailaddress@mydomain";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "someonelse@example.com";
$headers = "From:" . $from;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
?>It wrote: Mail sent -> but I didn't get anything
Here is my PHP email demo program that has been tested on Linux and Windows IIS servers with PHP 4 and 5. Save it as 'Email.php' and put in your own email address and try it. It is more complete than your test program.
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','On');

How can I check postfix settings? Maybe it is not set correctly

Please type "mailq" on the server, and see if the mails are queued up waiting to go out.
You can also test the ability of your server to deliver mail by doing the following:
"sendmail -bv user@domain.com" (replace that with the $to address you're trying to mail.)
BTW, I know you have Postfix installed, but the sendmail command should be installed for compatibility purposes so as not to break applications and whatnot. Please give me the output of both commands.

By the way, you need to change this line:
$headers = "From:" . $from;
to
$headers = "From: $from";
The way you have it now will create a header "From:user@domain" - this is invalid - it needs to be "From: user@domain" (there is a space in there) Please fix that too.

Okay, so the server is sending all of your mails, but they are bouncing back. You should be able to find the bounces in /var/mail and read through some of them to see what the error is.
It is probably because the hostname that your system is using in the return address doesn't resolve in DNS, so the remote servers bounce the mail. What is the output on your system of the "hostname" command?
Can you show me "cat /etc/hosts"?

set:

Then do:
/etc/init.d/postfix restart
Then do:
sendmail -bv your_email@domain.com
This time, you should not get the line that says "Mail Delivery Status Report will be mailed to <root>."
If that is the case, please try your web form again.

What does "nslookup <ip address of your server>" return? That would be probably the best value to put into the myhostname field.
But if this server actually IS www.mydomain.com, then that is what you need to put in there. What error did you get when you had that?
If you do "nslookup www.mydomain.com" does it return the IP address of that machine?

Then it should work fine.

No, actually I meant for you to put expert@lsn.net in your original PHP form in place of your normal $to and then search your /var/log/mail.info and see what it says in there.
As far as the telnet command goes, I was just making sure you didn't have some kind of outbound firewall on port 25. Obviously you can connect to Google's server on port 25, so you do not have anything blocking that, so that is good! We're getting closer... I just need to see why the remote system is blocking the emails if they're actually going out of your system. I also would like to know where the heck they are bouncing to, because they should be ending up in /var/mail, but we'll get to that.
As far as the telnet command goes, I was just making sure you didn't have some kind of outbound firewall on port 25.

Okay, so your log file is lying - it never made it to my server to be bounced. Let me think about this for a bit and get back to you.
The mail is definitely getting to postfix, but it's not leaving your server and I need to try to figure out why.
The mail is definitely getting to postfix, but it's not leaving your server and I need to try to figure out why.
Speaking from experience, it is much less of a hassle to send email through another server than directly from your own. If you have a Gmail account, I believe you can setup your server so basically the email comes from Gmail's servers, or send from your ISP's mail server. This gets around issues with firewalls, configuring mail servers, DNS, and a whole slew of other potential problems.
ASKER
crazedsanity: I have different domains on the server.
How this affect those? (every site should send email)
How this affect those? (every site should send email)
The mail server can really only send email as one domain (as far as I'm aware): it might be setup to be "mail.x.com", even though the domain "y.com" resides on the same server and wishes to send email directly from it.
I believe you can send email through the Gmail servers by configuring things correctly. I have free Google Apps accounts that have domain mail setup. The domains that have domain mail via Google can authenticate to the Gmail servers, thus avoiding the problems of trying to send email directly from the server itself.
It isn't the "easiest" solution, I'll grant you that, but mail servers are smarter nowadays. Blocking messages from "bad hosts" before even processing them, rigorous SPAM filters, and a host of other things will all work against you. Getting email sent from something that isn't a major email system isn't easy, nor should it be, thanks to all the spammers out there.

There's no such thing as "sending email as a domain". There's no "domain" header in an email, and the receiving server only knows what IP the TCP connection originates from. There are two headers which contain a configurable domain name - From: and Return-Path: And guess what - they are no different than when you send snail mail - the Sender address on your envelope can be anything you want it to be, and so can whatever your return path/address is on an email. Many servers on the remote end will do some sanity checks to make sure they are valid (so alien@outer.space will likely net you a bounce) but you can send mail through any server with any of the millions/billions of valid domain names out there as long as your IP address is authorized to send.
That being said, the author has what is probably a very simple Postfix configuration issue, but it's difficult for me to diagnose without being able to poke around the system. Using a 3rd party host such as gmail is all fine and well, but it doesn't answer the question, and worse, the sysadmins then lose visibility as to what happens to subsequent mails, because all they can see is the handoff to the 3rd party relay.

Please show me the following commands output:

hostname

cat /etc/hosts
Maybe my wording was a bit misleading. The mailserver doesn't have a lot of choice as to how it appears to other mailservers, except the hostname that it gives to servers that it connects to, and the reverse DNS name of the connecting IP address.
For instance, if the mail server's IP address reverses to "static.ip-55555.isp.net",
Using a third party mail may obscure some pieces of the puzzle, but can definitely avoid the pitfalls of being blacklisted by other mail servers / ISPs, among other things.

As far as the email actually getting delivered: xterm, are you certain that your server didn't mark it as SPAM? Or maybe your email client? Check to see if starhu's server connected at all, if possible.
@crazedsanity:
100% positive that mail never touched my server, Postfix is bouncing them instantly internally, and I suspect it may have something to do with the system not knowing its own FQDN.

It would be *extremely* helpful to see the messages that are getting delivered to the server. That may clear up this mystery completely...

xterm: The person who set up the server said that he forgot to put up the php-mail package but he has done it today.
Nevertheless I didn't get the email. I sent one for you as before, will you check it?
