Hello,
My website is running on an Ubuntu 16.04 powered droplet. I have a ‘reset password’ form on the site that sends out a new password to the users email address if they’ve forgotten it, however, I can’t seem to get it to work.
I’ve used the script in the past on traditional hosting providers but it just will not work on a droplet. No emails are getting sent out by the script.
Any advice would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks, Luke

This is probably because you don’t have sendmail or a mailserver setup on your droplet.
What we’re doing is relaying mail via smtp through another server. You can use Yahoo or Gmail for this purpose although I think there might be sending limits.
