    a quick fix would be to install a plugin like wp-smtp and just set the smtp with a gmail account. Then all of your emails will be sent through gmail.

    however, if you want to work on getting sendmail working, what OS are you using?

    Linux is the OS.

    I have actually thought about the plugin but i wanted to do away with that since all i wanted is to receive notifications while i use my private mail to send mails.

    Like i said again, it purely a LEMP one-click install config.

    Thanks again for your response
