Send e-mail with PHP and qmail mta in a CHROOT Jail

Hello my friends,

I have a http server with Apache 2.2.4 in a chroot jail.
My server is very stable, but i have a big problem.

I need Send e-mails with my web sites, and I can't.

I'm not able to send mail with the apache in a chroot jail.

Someone can configure this ?

I use the qmail how SMTP in my server.

Outbound of the chroot jail, The messages are sent correctly.

But in a chroot, I can't configure.

Thank for help

Chances are, your MTA called from within the jail is writing to a queue
directory within the jail that your main MTA cannot send from.

Have you tried setting up mail() so that it uses SMTP over TCP/IP rather than
trying to call the sendmail shell command?

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php

The documentation says that "SMTP" and "smtp_port" configuration options are
"used under Windows only", but if I recall correctly that just means that most
*NIX users don't _need_ to use these config options. I believe that they will
actually work under *NIX as well if you configure them.

Try setting sendmail_path to NULL, SMTP to "localhost", and smtp_port to 25,
and see if that helps.

This is a bit off-topic for this list, so feel free to write me off-list if
you want to discuss this suggestion further.

Kind regards,

Scott

Last time I checked, it didn`t work in Linux at all.

He could use SSMTP (i.e. http://packages.debian.org/stable/mail/ssmtp).
This small app emulates sendmail & acts like a mail proxy -- all you
need is an smtp account & relaying allowed from the machine you want to
mail() from.

Hmmmm...Perhaps I was mis-recalling.

The other option would be to install the SMTP support in the PEAR libraries.
