[TriLUG] Mail configuration in RHEL ( 8th )

[John Franklin via TriLUG]

IIRC, PHPs mail() function simply drops the mail to the system mail daemon, while PHPMailer is a full SMTP implementation, minus retries. 

Can you send mail from the command line?

Subject: [TriLUG] Mail configuration in RHEL ( 8th )


Folks,
I am having a problem sending e-mail from PHP in a machine running RHEL
8.5.
I have two different code bases, one running PHPMailer, and one running
basic PHP mail().
The PHPMailer code successfully delivers e-mail sent from itself.
The mail() code does not.
Incidentally, just to throw a monkey-wrench into things, this machine is
a test machine with both sets of code installed.  The "real" machines
with only one of the blocks of code each, are both successful.
I am working on the premise that there is a configuration setting,
somewhere, that is causing the "mail()" code to fail.  I didn't build
these machines and am only respponsible for the PHP code.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brian
