How do I send an e-mail through SMTP
Published 2 months ago by pdc
I'm trying to send mails through the mailhub of my Internet Service Provider (Telenet). Previously, I've done the same using the simple-smtp linux package.
The configuration was as follows:
[email protected]
mailhub=smtp.telenet.be:587
rewriteDomain=example.com
hostname=example.com
UseTLS=YES
UseSTARTTLS=Yes
[email protected]
AuthPass=your_password
AuthMethod=LOGIN
FromLineOverride=YES
To make this successful, I also had to set up following reverse aliases in sSMTP. For each Linux user who wants to send emails - let's say www-data since that's the user that runs the webserver.
root:[email protected]:smtp.telenet.be:587
pi:[email protected]:smtp.telenet.be:587
no-reply:[email protected]:smtp.telenet.be:587
www-data:[email protected]:smtp.telenet.be:587
I've already set up my environment file with the credentials to connect to the Telenet mailhub. This works as expected. However, PHP complains about missing reverse aliases.
Expected response code 250 but got code "550", with message "550 5.1.0 <[email protected]> is not an alias of [email protected]"
Where can I set up these reverse aliases to allow the www-data user to send emails on behalf of [email protected]
Why not just use mailgun? 10.000 are for free

Setting it up will take you 2 min.
Hope it helps!
