I have a laravel-homestead box. I installed mailutils by "apt-get install mailutils" It then asked me to configure postfix I choose "Internet.." option. When I try to send an email by running
echo "Test" | mail -s "testing email" myemail@gmail.com
I don't receive any email.
/var/log/mail.log:
Nov 7 22:28:43 homestead postfix/master[1553]: reload -- version 2.11.0, configuration /etc/postfix Nov 7 22:29:13 homestead postfix/pickup[2289]: 1364660ECE: uid=0 from=root@homestead Nov 7 22:29:13 homestead postfix/cleanup[2299]: 1364660ECE: message-id=20141107222913.1364660ECE@homestead Nov 7 22:29:13 homestead postfix/qmgr[2290]: 1364660ECE: from=root@homestead, size=331, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Nov 7 22:29:43 homestead postfix/smtp[2301]: connect to gmail.com[74.125.230.149]:25: Connection timed out
I am fairly newbie when it comes to linux machines. I have been trying to make sending mail work with laravel-homestead vagrant virtual machine with no luck.
Has anyone else experienced this?
You might want to install mailcatcher instead works very fast and gives you a lot of benefits like testing your emails and using the rest api of mailcatcher. check out how to get it running in homestead here http://www.chrisduell.com/blog/development/php-development/using-mailcatcher-homestead/
Thanks john. I will try that and update you here.
I have been searching internet for solution and very surprised that no laravel/homestead experienced developer tried installing sendmail/postfix.
