Hey folks,


yesterday I decided to upgrade my CentOS machine from 6.3 to 6.4 and now my php mail function stoped to work.

What I've tested so far:

1. If I try to send a message to my remote mail server I've got a false result.

 

<?php

phpinfo();

if ( function_exists( 'mail' ) )
{
    echo 'mail() is available' . '<br />';
}
else
{
    echo 'mail() has been disabled'.'<br />';
}  

$to = 'myEmail@gmail.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: jazzman@centos-box.localdomain' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: jazzman@centos-box.localdomain' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
 echo "mail send ... OK"; 
} else {
echo "mail send ... ERROR!";
}

Results:

 

 

mail() is available

mail send ... ERROR!

 

 

2. I checked the path to the default mail client - sendmail and it is correct:

 

sendmail_path:        /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

 

3. Then I try to send a message to my remote server through a BASH script and the sendmail works fine:

 

// to my remote mail server
date | sendmail -v myEmail@gmail.com

// to my local mail server 
date | sendmail -v jazzman@centos-box.localdomain

Results:

For some reason the mail function does not work to me!

Thanks,

No, the error_reporting shows nothing.

 

I think that it's a server security issue and coming from selinux in centos.

 

Let me check in the error's log in the server, something happened here.

 

Apr  5 12:07:21 centos-box postfix/sendmail[4899]: fatal: chdir /var/spool/postfix: Permission denied

I found a solution without disabling SELinux.

 

Here is it:

 

[root@centos-box jazzman]# /usr/sbin/getsebool httpd_can_sendmail
httpd_can_sendmail --> off

[root@centos-box jazzman]# setsebool -P httpd_can_sendmail 1

[root@centos-box jazzman]# /usr/sbin/getsebool httpd_can_sendmail

httpd_can_sendmail --> on

Hope this helps someone!

 

jazz..
