Hi DigitalOcean team, first of all, congrats for everything ! That an awesome service ! Next, I would know how to enable the mail() fonction. By default I think it’s disabled because I received an error with wordpress trying to retreive a lost password.
Le message n’a pas pu être envoyé. Raison possible : votre hébergeur peut avoir désactivé la fonction mail()…
The message can’t been sent. Possible reason : your host has maybe deactivated mail() function…
Thank you

Indeed, the steps I took were <br> <br>1) If sendmail isn’t installed, install it: apt-get install sendmail <br>2) Configure hosts file correctly: nano /etc/hosts <br>And make sure the line looks like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain yourhostnamehere <br>3) Run the sendmail config and answer ‘Y’ to everything: sendmailconfig <br> <br>I restarted apache for good measure: service apache2 restart <br> <br>After that my mail was sending instantly.
I was having the same problem - sendmail WAY too slow. Found fix for it here: http://www.flogiston.net/blog/2009/05/11/sendmail-painfully-slow-on-ubuntu/
Why don’t you use this way: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-use-gmail-or-yahoo-with-php-mail-function . This is excellent tutorial and I have never got problem with it. I am using Gmail as SMTP server and everything is both super fast and reliable.
