Hi @info1681965606fde6e64f59ad

Depending on your account status with DigitalOcean, there might be a mail send-out block to prevent spam. You can contact Support via control panel to get it removed.

There’s currently no tutorial for Sendmail on Ubuntu, but you can have a look at this:

I would recommend that you use Postfix, which is a drop-in-replacement for Sendmail:

      I need to do the same. I want to run a cron job and if it detects something wrong it would send me an email. can you help me with this ? thx

        @rbjassoc
        Then you just insert this line above your cron job line:

        MAILTO=you@domain.com

        But you might want to create a new question, if that doesn’t work for you, since it’s very different from the original question.
