MSMTP Problem
 

Hello all,

Not really a Fedora problem, but the level of helpful knowledge here is
second to none :)

My fedora 17 box hosts my small family web-server. I am trying to get an
email contact form to work using php mail(). I have never had any
success with sendmail so I installed msmtp and changed php.ini to read:
sendmail_path = /bin/msmtp -t -C /etc/msmtprchttp

After much wrestling and checking of logs and fixing permissions and
selinux denials I have finally got it to the point that now the php
script gives a cheery "message sent" confirmation and this is in the
msmtp log:
Sep 09 11:10:33 host=smtp.blueyonder.co.uk tls=on auth=off from=noreply@mydomain.org recipients=mark@mydomain.org mailsize=1735 smtpstatus=250 smtpmsg='250 OK id=1TAeTJ-0004Xk-CG' exitcode=EX_OK

All seems good!

The message never arrives.

Could some kind soul point me to where I have screwed up please?

Thanks

Mark

Can we assume that msmtp is sending the message to "localhost" for processing by sendmail? If so, have you checked /var/log/maillog?

Well I don't know exactly how msmtp works, but I can't find any
reference in maillog to the test outgoing mails.

Here's what I have in /etc/msmtprchttp (the configuration file
accessible by apache which I refer to in php.ini:
logfile /var/log/msmtp.log
tls on
tls_certcheck off
tls_starttls off
host smtp.blueyonder.co.uk
from noreply@mydomain.org

Thanks for helping...

Mark
