<![CDATA[Cannot send mail from LAMP app]]>I'm trying to configure a php application installed into a LAMP app in cloudron, to send emails.

I'm following instructions here and have typed the "cloudronmail" function as stated there. But it does not send any email. I have added traces to see the commands executed and the responses, and there are (i've edited out the personal information):

helo <some identifier>
> 220 my.example.com ESMTP Haraka/2.8.28 ready
mail from: myapp.app@example.com
> 250 my.example.com Hello <some identifier>.cloudron [172.18.16.4]Haraka is at your service.
rcpt to: some.email@hotmail.com
> 250 sender <myapp.app@example.com> OK
data
> 550 I cannot deliver mail for <some.email@hotmail.com>
To: some.email@hotmail.com
(...)
> 503 RCPT required first
quit
> 500 Unrecognized command

The address "some.email@hotmail.com" is a valid address of one of the cloudron users (although i think this should not be necessary).

Do you have any clue? Don't understand why it "cannot deliver mail" for this address. Thanks.

@hollosch you have to configure it in the code. https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/lamp/#email has an example. I assume you are using a custom app that you developed?

I'm using https://www.php-guestbook.de/?langu=en

ah, that means I have to adjust the configuration in the PHP script I'm using, doesn't it?

PHPMailer supports SMTP authentication.

But it still be useful to be able to send emails from the PHP app. I cannot try this now, but I'll try again next time we need to do it.

Let me try to fix up the example tomorrow. The CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_USERNAME and CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD env variables must be used.
