Blade How to send mail (sendmail) for php mail()?

PHP mail() function doesn't work.

Nor does sendmail:

How to send via sendmail without any other outer mail? I just want to send by testing sendmail on command line. Which minimum amount of setup work do I have to do (generally)?

sendmail -f "nobody@xidev.tk" -vt <mail.txt
xi@xsi ~ $ cat mail.txt
Quote:
To: ***mytestmail@gmail.com
Subject: Put a subject here
From: nobody@xidev.tk

(I don't really need any email-server
I need activation email with php, thanks)

Who's got working mail() via sendmail? How did you set it up to work?

I was advised to use msmtp. As far as I could see some people defend the position of setting up the outer mail. I don't know it - how it's called "relay ".. I don't need it IF IT'S POSSIBLE. Another wide-spread opinion in google search results is to ask a provider to write a PTR record into outer DNS zone.
I HOPE NOT and hope I will silently send my activation hash to user's email after registration from my peaceful home without disturbing any providers support or other services.


(Gentoo Linux)
I'm waiting for your help, I wish the way of learning sendmail and php mail() will be just full of just-needed information ...PHPmailers.. libraries - rather not.
However, you might prove to me that's simply just to learn email protocol and write my own php..

17:11 < Cheaterman> Merely install the thingy and you should be good to go xsi

I'm such a green newbie even in js ..guys.. PHP xD .. and apart I see the immense fields of standards huge & cumbersome

....

1. What to write in each config php.ini httpd.conf ssmtp.conf
2. What parameters to write to sendmail to just test
3. What I must put into other system-wide config files?

sendmail on your system is just ssmtp.

ssmtp won't work until you configure it. See all those 'not sets'? They're not set.

You need to set at least 'mailhub', 'AuthUser', and 'AuthPass' in ssmtpd.conf for it to try to connect to a mail server. What those are, depends on what email and mail server you want it to connect to.
