Hello, I have proven diverse configurations of [MailSettings] in site.ini file, and I cannot send emails As it would be the correct configuration? Thanks

What operating system are you using on the server and what kind of mail settings are trying to use (sendmail,smtp)?

The used system where eZ is executed is network hat 7.1

Adjustments proven with smtp:

[MailSettings]
# The type of transport for emails, can be either sendmail or SMTP
# Window users should probably use SMTP
MailTransport=smtp
# Configuration for SMTP
TransportServer=192.168.1.55 (IP mailserver smtp)
TransportPort=25
TransportUser=user_name
TransportPassword=
AdminEmail=user@domain.com
EmailSender=user@domain.com

Adjustments proven with sendmail in the same machine of eZ Publish:

[MailSettings]
# The type of transport for emails, can be either sendmail or SMTP
# Window users should probably use SMTP
MailTransport=sendmail
# Configuration for SMTP
TransportServer=
TransportPort=25
TransportUser=user_name
TransportPassword=
AdminEmail=user@domain.com
EmailSender=user@domain.com

Adjustments proven with sendmail installed in another machine in local network:

[MailSettings]
# The type of transport for emails, can be either sendmail or SMTP
# Window users should probably use SMTP
MailTransport=sendmail
# Configuration for SMTP
TransportServer=192.168.1.60 (IP sendmail machine in localnetwork)
TransportPort=25
TransportUser=user_name
TransportPassword=
AdminEmail=user@domain.com
EmailSender=user@domain.com

No of the configurations has worked :-(

Thanks for the interest and the answer :-)

Check your mail log when your are trying to send mail (normally /var/log/maillog) to see if your mail actually get sent or if it is rejected somehow.

In eZ publish 3.0 the email sender is set to your web server user (eg apache@localhost), and some mail servers reject mails from a non existing mail account (which apache@localhost is).

In svn, when using sendmail to send mail, the email sender is correctly set to whatever EmailSender in site.ini is.

If you the ability to change php.ini, you can set the email sender there:
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f valid@email.user
