There isn't any mailer-daemon listening on localhost also modifying the php.ini the mail will not go...

You need to use PEAR library and the PHPMailer class to send thru an external SMTP server with authentication.

Code: Select all

require_once('/library/PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php');
$mail = new \PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
$mail->SMTPAuth = 'login';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->Username = 'example@gmail.com';
$mail->Password = 'somepassword';
$mail->SetFrom('example@gmail.com', 'Example');
$mail->Subject = 'The subject';
$mail->Body = 'The content';
$mail->AddAddress('receiver@gmail.com');
$mail->Send();

There's also another way, using plain PHP, if your cable/ADSL provider gives you SMTP server without authentication change localhost with it's smtp server.

ADM 2.2 will support a mailserver on the NAS. This might take a few weeks however.

Hi Kaipitein Haak
I have a Asustor AS-304T and I have setup a local website which works well. This Wordpress site has a "Contact Us" page which needs to send an email. Please confirm the discussion here is addressing this issue and I am on the right track to solving the problem. If yes then are you saying if I wait a few weeks then you will have a solution using a mailserver for the AS-304T?
Thanks.............Murray

You have to use a plugin that uses external SMTP servers.

Nope, cant' wait for the new ADM 2.2 that promises to fill di lack...

1. I installed the Mail server App
2. It works as mail server
3. I installed a template with a Contact page that ask for the mail() function.
4. It doesn't work.
5. I installed a plugin in Wordpress called WP SMTP
6. Then I changed the function in the template from mail (..........) to wp_mail(..........)
7. In this way it works

The only remaining issue is that many functions from the template contact page don't work:
- mail from : mail will arrive from the sender you specified in the WP SMTP settings page
- Subject: subject will be what you specified in the WP SMTP settings page

Hope it will be useful to someone.

I already configured the Mail Server App on my NAS.
I configured the SMTP server and it works only with Wordpress by configuring the wp_mail() function.

I tried to edit the php.ini by inserting the smtp server installed but the "standard" mail() function doens't work.

I am trying to set a second webpage (in Wordpress too) andI need the mail() function to make the OpenConf platform to correctly works.
I also tried to edit the OpenConf files to use wp_mail() without success.

Is there anyone who solved this issue?

Many thanks.
