Horde can't send mails

P

Guest
Greetings everyone:

I have a problem sending mails from horde, when i try to send a mail the webmail delivers the following error:

Failed to open sendmail [/usr/sbin/sendmail] for execution.

I dont have any disabled function in my php.ini:

[root@vwebhost01] ~ # grep disable_fu /etc/php.ini
;disable_functions =

I have this problem since plesk 9.3, so i upgraded today to 9.5 and i have the same problem.

Can someone help me!
 
Try to check that you have following paths and permissions for Qmail, for example:

# ll /usr/sbin/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Feb 16 00:15 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /etc/alternatives/mta
# ll /etc/alternatives/mta
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Mar 2 16:28 /etc/alternatives/mta -> /var/qmail/bin/sendmail
# ll /var/qmail/bin/sendmail
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root qmail 14120 Dec 30 06:07 /var/qmail/bin/sendmail
 
Thanks for the reply igor, my setup looks exactly like you said:

[root@vwebhost01] /usr/sbin # ll /usr/sbin/sendmail
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 May 4 09:58 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /etc/alternatives/mta

[root@vwebhost01] /usr/sbin # ll /etc/alternatives/mta
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 May 19 2009 /etc/alternatives/mta -> /var/qmail/bin/sendmail

[root@vwebhost01] /usr/sbin # ll /var/qmail/bin/sendmail
12K -r-xr-xr-x 1 root qmail 11K Apr 10 00:58 /var/qmail/bin/sendmail

So i upgraded to plesk 9.5.1 and the problem is solved, thanks for your help.
 
Hello, I have the same problem, have Plesk 9.2.3 and of a day for the other I stop working. The forms of shipment of mail in php do not work to me either. Somebody has idea that can be?
