Is there some software that I need to install to be able to use a PHP contact form - It was working on a Share Hosting

@MrPeppah

Hmm, for some reason It doesn’t work for me.

This is what I did…

1. Install sendmail-ben sudo apt-get install sendmail-bin

2. I looked at the hosts file but I didn’t make any changes because it already had that right information. This is how it looks. 127.0.1.1 MyDropletName MyDropletName 127.0.1.1 localhost

3. Ran sudo sendmailconfig

4. Tested in terminal and using form and it just. In terminal a) sendmail someEmail@yahoo.com b) enter c) typed some text d) enter and nothing happen, no email was sent.

When I test it using the form I get the following error. 504 Gateway Time-out

Am I missing something? Any idea?

@CrypticDesigns First of all thank you for your help.

Wow, it looks like a tedious process just to process a simple contact form. Why would I need to provide an email and password? I already have this defined in my PHP form. When I had this working in my previous share hosting I didn’t have to do that, I guess that is the difference between mange your server your self vs share hosting.

All I want is to be able to send the information from the form as an email.

Thanks

@CrypticDesigns One last question, do you know if there is any security configuration that I need to make for sendmail or there is nothing to worry about?

The reason for my question is because I have heard that mail servers need some sort of security configuration.

Thanks
