Debian can't send mail from PHP
debian, php, phpmailer
Solution
In Ubuntu `sendmail` is not installed by default. You will have to install it manually:
sudo apt-get install sendmail-bin
EDIT 1:
In case you're using PHPMailer you can set `Sendmail` path using:
$mail->Sendmail = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
It's easy to test if the problem in PHP code or in your mail server configuration, or even probably firewall. Try running from the command line and see if you receive your email:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -v my@address.com < email.test
Additionally you actually could receive the mail but it could be put in SPAM folder, so check for the message there as well.
EDIT 2:
And one more thing is that you should install `sendmailconfig` and then run it to configure it:
sudo sendmailconfig
