Postfix and sendmail are two different mail transfer agents. Your sendmail issue has nothing to do with Postfix.

Keep in mind that FreeBSD 12.2 has been EoL since the end of March 2022. You should upgrade to 12.3 some time soon.

Hi,
Yes but in my php.ini I have to add this line for send an email with mail() in php.
sendmail doesn't run, only postfix run on my web server.

sendmail_path = sendmail -t -i -fmyemail@tld.com

Do you recommand another way to configure this file ?

If sendmail doesn't run, why are you editing sendmail's configuration files? The *.cf and *.mc files in /etc/mail/ are for sendmail(8).

Please post the contents of /etc/mail/mailer.conf and the output of ps -aux | grep sendmail and ps -aux | grep postfix.

The error "set sender to contact@tld.com using -f" is telling you to put "-f" flag before the myemail@tld.com separated with space"

Or instead of specify the sender into the path use the variable in php.ini " sendmail_from = me@example.com"

Hi,

Code:

root@admin-grav7-01-adm:/etc/mail # ps -aux | grep sendmail
root    40280  0.0  0.1  11564  2516  2  S+   10:23        0:00.01 grep sendmail
root@admin-grav7-01-adm:/etc/mail # 
root@admin-grav7-01-adm:/etc/mail # ps -aux | grep postfix
root    40221  0.0  0.4  52404  8428  -  Ss   10:20        0:00.03 /usr/local/libexec/postfix/master -w
postfix 40222  0.0  0.4  52404  8448  -  I    10:20        0:00.01 pickup -l -t unix -u
postfix 40223  0.0  0.4  52512  8528  -  I    10:20        0:00.02 qmgr -l -t unix -u

I'll try to change some value but nothing change. I received the email but I alway same error

Code:

Jun 17 08:38:30 admin-grav7-01-adm sendmail[38953]: 25H8cUUc038953: Authentication-Warning: admin-grav7-01-adm.tld.local: www set sender to contact@tld.com using -f

Thank you,

Ok, good, it's indeed Postfix.

What is the content of /etc/mail/mailer.conf though? /usr/sbin/sendmail is a wrapper that uses mailer.conf(5) to determine what actually gets executed.

Nope. Do I must change the path ?

Code:

root@admin-grav7-01-adm:/etc/mail # cat /etc/mail/mailer.conf
# $FreeBSD: releng/12.2/etc/mail/mailer.conf 363973 2020-08-06 18:13:45Z kevans $
#
# Execute the "real" sendmail program, named /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
#
# If dma(8) is installed, an example mailer.conf that uses dma(8) instead can
# can be found in /usr/share/examples/dma.
#
sendmail    /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
mailq        /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
newaliases    /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
hoststat    /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
purgestat    /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail

mail/postfix pkg-message instructs you to change it.

For Postfix it should look like this:

Code:

#
# Execute the Postfix sendmail program, named /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
#
sendmail	/usr/local/sbin/sendmail
send-mail	/usr/local/sbin/sendmail
mailq		/usr/local/sbin/sendmail
newaliases	/usr/local/sbin/sendmail

ogosselin · Jun 17, 2022

Done I change it

Code:

root@admin-grav7-01-adm:/etc/mail # cat /etc/mail/mailer.conf
# $FreeBSD: releng/12.2/etc/mail/mailer.conf 363973 2020-08-06 18:13:45Z kevans $
#
# Execute the "real" sendmail program, named /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
#
# If dma(8) is installed, an example mailer.conf that uses dma(8) instead can
# can be found in /usr/share/examples/dma.
#
#sendmail    /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
#mailq        /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
#newaliases    /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
#hoststat    /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
#purgestat    /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail

#
# Execute the Postfix sendmail program, named /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
#
sendmail    /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
send-mail    /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
mailq        /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
newaliases    /usr/local/sbin/sendmail

but I've a new error :

Code:

Jun 17 11:00:52 admin-grav7-01-adm postfix/smtp[42310]: warning: unsupported SASL client implementation: cyrus
Jun 17 11:00:52 admin-grav7-01-adm postfix/smtp[42310]: fatal: SASL library initialization

I'm using SASL because I've an external relay SMTP

Thank you,

It works right now. Thank you.

I Updated postfix-sasl

Thank you,

Right, because you're now executing Postfix's 'sendmail' instead of sendmail(8).
