Re: [toaster] Simplehelpdeskfinal wont send mail through qmail setup
Thanks a lot! I took what you said and applied it to the toaster directions and it works now. What I think happened is simple operator error. During the setup of simplehelpdesk, I noticed that the 'mail' command was missing. I then proceeded to install mailx which also installed postfix. I removed postfix (and mailx). I ran the "rpm -e --nodeps postfix" command and didn't realize that I had to re-create the symbolic links to /usr/sbin/sendmail again... Thanks for the help.

Re: [toaster] Simplehelpdeskfinal wont send mail through qmail setup
The helpdesk webpage is on the same machine as the toaster. I access it using (example) help.me.com. I have two virtual vpopmail domains on the same machine (examples) help.me.com and coolguy.me.com You're right with it not entirely being a toaster issue, but in a way it seems to be pointing toward a qmail toaster configuration thing... I think it has something to do with: rpm -e --nodeps sendmail postfix So is it possible to have the qmail toaster AND mailx(postfix) running on the same machine? Or like I asked before, could it just need a new php command or wrapper to have it deliver email messages to the local qmail accounts?

If the machine where you're hosting the site it's not the one you're running the toaster then there is a great chance that the sendmail daemon thinks it's a local accout that you want to send mail to. A quick fix would be to rename the hostname of the system into something different from the domain you're trying to send mail to.

[toaster] Simplehelpdeskfinal wont send mail through qmail setup
Hi all, I have the toaster installed with all the bells and whistles and all works fine. I have set up SimpleHelpDesk(final) on apache which uses the following snippet of code: mail($db_user->user_email, $mail_subject, $mail_content, "From: $config[helpdesk_email]"); How do I get the 'mail' command to send messages to my locally-hosted qmail accounts? Would I need to change the php code to something else or use some sort of sendmail/postfix wrapper to get it to work? For those of you who are not familiar with the mail command, the following _should_ send out a message to the recepient from the commandline: the mail (mailx) command looks like this: ~]# mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Hi toasty! This is a test for Toasty! . CC: ~]# I have run into the same problem on three separate toaster machines.
