1) Make sure your hostname reflects your public dns record https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/set-hostname.html We edited our DNS to have a public dns of "webserver.mydomain.com" sudo nano /etc/sysconfig/network HOSTNAME=webserver.mydomain.com and did a "sudo reboot" 2) Install SSMTP sudo yum install ssmtp 3) Configure ssmtp.conf a) sudo nano /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf b) Change: mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587 UseSTARTTLS=Yes AuthUser=yourname@gmail.com AuthPass=yourpassword 4) If you have problems, turn on debug mode In ssmtp.conf, put first line: Debug=Yes It will log everything to: sudo nano /var/log/maillog 5) Edit ./etc/ssmtp/revaliases root:Devin Johnson<myname@myemail.com>:smtp.gmail.com:587 6) Edit php.ini a) sudo nano /etc/.php.ini b) Search on "mail function" c) Change sendmail_path to point to ssmtp sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/ssmtp -t -f 'djohnson@mydomain.com' 6) If you can send emails, but the name of the "from" email is Apache, add this to your PHP: $headers = 'From: Devin Johnson<djohnson@stockmarketmba.com>' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: djohnson@stockmarketmba.com' . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); mail($email,$subject,$strBody, $headers); |
