msmtp and php
  • dmaule
    I have my slice set up as a LAMP server and attempting to use
    msmtp for outgoing mail. So far I can send out system email
    but I have my sites set up under a specific user account with
    it's own local .msmtprc file.

    my php.ini has the necessary entry for sending the mail and using
    a configuration file. I've tried both the system default configuration
    (/etc/msmtprc) file as well as the user specific configuration file
    (/home/user/.msmtprc) and neither seem to be working.

    I tested this with a simple php mailer test script which sends an email.
    Evertime I run it i'm seeing a permission denied reading the configuration
    file for msmtp.

    I can seem to get around this, any suggestions?

    Decided to go with postfix instead.
    It was quick and easy, and it's working with
    my google apps account too.

    I sent a message to a yahoo account i have
    using a php test script, went straight to my
    mailbox! So at this point I think postfix
    is the smoothest way to go.

    I am taking a wild guess, but it sounds like your .msmtprc file may've had the wrong permissions. If the user www-data runs msmtp, then the .msmtprc must be owned by www-data, and be chmoded 600.

    If you only require outgoing mail, I hope you try msmtp again.

    A good way to test if the configuration is correct is to run `msmtp --serverinfo`. If it displays stats instead of errors, then you're good to go.
