Hello!

I tried to find the answer to my problem in google but all I could find was people with this same problem.

I have a form that uses the php mail function to send an email and it works fine except when I try to send the email to a gmail or google apps account.

The server is local and the domain is the same as in the email I want to send (google apps).

What do I have to do?

This is my php.ini file concerning the mail function:

Code: Select all

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = me@localhost.com

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =



Why does it works with an email like <myname>@mail.telepac.pt and not with gmail or with a google apps account?
I'm using Postfix!

I found this but it looks to much! Do I have to do this?
My system:OpenSuse 10.3

I'm using Postfix!

Your Postfix logs should have more infos.

(I assume, that you dan't have any error from PHPs' mail() function)

This is an extract of the logs:

I never received this mail!!!

I get no errors from the php mail function.

The server host name is esao.edu.pt and the domain is also esaof.edu.pt and we have google apps.

The log is telling you that the mail was delivered succesfully to the gmail Mailserver. So if you did not recieve it, it was either dropped by the gmail server or it is moved to another account (spam account maybe). You should ask the Google support why the mail did not arrive.

I checked: It was in spam!

But with mail accounts in the same domain as the web server It doesn't work!
Our domain is esaof.edu.pt and we have email accounts provided by google apps using this domain.

Yes, that makes sense. If Postfix detects that he should deliver a mail that he is responsible for, he will directly process this mail. In this case you should remove the domain from $mydestination and also check $myhostname. Then Postfix will lookup the correct mailserver for this domain and deliver the mail via the smtpd interface.

I followed this and now It works!!!!

Or you just relay it

I never set up an relaying Mailserver (i hope i did not *g*), but that's the better solution in this case.
