mail not sending
I followed these instructions:
If you have an external SMTP service you can use, then the built in phpmailer addon is the simplest setup. Here's the basics.
1: Install phpmailer
Run: ./util/addons install phpmailer
2: Edit the .htconfig.php file and add the following.
App::$config['phpmailer']['mailer'] = 'smtp';
App::$config['phpmailer']['host'] = 'smtp.example.com;
App::$config['phpmailer']['port'] = '587'; // May be a different port
App::$config['phpmailer']['smtpauth'] = 1;
App::$config['phpmailer']['smtpsecure'] = 1;
App::$config['phpmailer']['username'] = 'you@example.com';
App::$config['phpmailer']['password'] = 'Your SMTP password';
Adjust as needed for your smtp service.
which I found here
I'm using a standard digital ocean ubuntu 20 droplet and I'm using mailgun. I've double checked all my settings, restarted the entire server, and looked in the logs (which seem to be silent on the matter)
any clues much appreciated!
