Add `smtp` support for basic `mail` function. Setup ===== [](#setup) Download command line tool -------------------------- [](#download-command-line-tool) First, download the last release of the binary: ``` wget https://github.com/smalot/sendmail-smtp/releases/download/v0.1.0/sendmail.phar ``` And enable execution flag ``` chmod +x sendmail.phar ``` Check if it works by displaying version ``` ./sendmail.phar list ``` Update `php.ini` ---------------- [](#update-phpini) Edit the `cli`, `apache` or both `php.ini` files. ``` # Set the full path to the phar command line tool. sendmail_path = "/path/to/phar/sendmail.phar" ``` The [`sendmail_path`](http://php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php) is a **[PHP\_INI\_SYSTEM](http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.modes.php)** `changeable` type which means you can only change it in the `php.ini` file or in the `httpd.conf` file. Config file =========== [](#config-file) File to store config : `/etc/sendmail-smtp.yml`. You can however place the config file in another folder by specifying it in the `sendmail_path` value. ``` sendmail_path = "/path/to/phar/sendmail.phar -f /config/folder/sendmail.yml" ``` Full details ------------ [](#full-details) ``` # SMTP hosts. # Either a single hostname or multiple semicolon-delimited hostnames. # You can also specify a different port # for each host by using this format: [hostname:port] # (e.g. "smtp1.example.com:25;smtp2.example.com"). # You can also specify encryption type, for example: # (e.g. "tls://smtp1.example.com:587;ssl://smtp2.example.com:465"). # Hosts will be tried in order. host: 127.0.0.1 # The default SMTP server port. port: 25 # Whether to use SMTP authentication. # Uses the Username and Password properties. auth: false # SMTP username. username: ~ # SMTP password. password: ~ # SMTP auth type. # Options are CRAM-MD5, LOGIN, PLAIN, NTLM, XOAUTH2, attempted in that order if not specified. auth_type: ~ # What kind of encryption to use on the SMTP connection. # Options: '', 'ssl' or 'tls' secure: ~ # Whether to enable TLS encryption automatically if a server supports it, # even if `secure` is not set to 'tls'. # Be aware that in PHP >= 5.6 this requires that the server's certificates are valid. auto_tls: ~ # SMTP realm. # Used for NTLM auth realm: ~ # SMTP workstation. # Used for NTLM auth workstation: ~ # The SMTP server timeout in seconds. # Default of 5 minutes (300sec) is from RFC2821 section 4.5.3.2 timeout: 300 # Options array passed to stream_context_create when connecting via SMTP. # @see http://nl1.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-context-create.php options: ~ # SMTP class debug output mode. # Debug output level. # Options: # * `0` No output # * `1` Commands # * `2` Data and commands # * `3` As 2 plus connection status # * `4` Low-level data output debug: 0 ``` Sample config files =================== [](#sample-config-files) Gmail ----- [](#gmail) ``` host: smtp.gmail.com port: 587 username: mail@example.tld password: xxxxxxxxxx auth: true ``` 1and1 ----- [](#1and1) ``` host: smtp.1und1.de port: 587 username: mail@example.tld password: xxxxxxxxxx auth: true ``` SMTP Server Docker ------------------ [](#smtp-server-docker) ``` host: 127.0.0.1 port: 8025 auth: false ``` ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 54% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity15 Limited adoption so far Community12 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity54 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 83.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
