I don't want to do ANYTHING but have php send emails. I don't really care about security (for the moment) and really just want it to work without thinking about it! Can someone give me some advice? Cheers AntoinePersonally I would just emerge sendmail and use that, especially if you don't need incoming mail. Postfix is probably overkill and I don't know jack about ssmtp. You may encounter two situations however: 1) Your ISP is blocking the SMTP port (25) and/or 2) Your firewall, software or hardware, is blocking mail. As I recall there isn't any special setting needed for sendmail to send a message from php, it just needs to be installed.
Nope... i still get the same thing with the proper sendmail :-(. I can also telnet to yahoo (though can't seem to send because it wants to authenticate...) on port 25 so don't think it is the isp or firewall.
Anything else I could try? Cheers Antoine -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
