Hello, I recently upgraded from gallery 1.3.4 to gallery 1.4 hosted on my own machine and was hoping to enable the email features, but when running the "Check Email" diagnostic the messages are not making it to the destination. Is there any information on what settings (Apache, sendmail, etc) are required for the Linux platform? (the FAQ seems to only have references to Win32) Many thanks! |

Have you verified that sendmail or whatever PHP is setup to use (the sendmail_path directive) exists and works correctly?
Can you link us to your Gallery in configuration mode?

I can't find any sendmail_path directives in any of the configuration files, where should it reside? (the only reference I found to actual message composition is in the gallery_mail function in utils.php)
My setup can be found at: http://www.maqo.com/gallery/setup/index.php
Thanks so much for the prompt reply.

Humblest apologies, I didn't realize you meant the sendmail_path from the global PHP configuration. After taking a closer look, it appears that sendmail somehow no longer existed on my system (!!), and after reinstalling it appears to work fine.
I'm concerned, however, that using sendmail will not work for certain recipients (like AOL subscribers), is it possible to have Gallery use a specified SMTP server instead? (although I'm assuming the answer is "no" since the script uses the mail() function)
Many thanks,
M

Not yet. Hopefully in future versions.
