Wordpress not sending emails

Community Support Mail

Sorry if I take up this speech.

To get the mail out of wordpress only (for example from a contact page or other form) do I have to leave exim4 installed on the server?

I would like to install hestia without internal mail management, so no rondcube. But to work only with the amazon workmail, but I have to get the emails out of wordpress.

Thank you all.

Basicly you can also set a remote smtp for wordpress or also provide a local mta, which automatically relays the email sent to localhost port 25 (from localhost only) to a external smtp gateway. There is no direct need to install exim, but it makes the life easier :slight_smile:.

Thanks @Raphael

So in theory I can do without installing both exim and dovecot and leave everything to a Wordpress SMTP plugin, like fluentSMTP for example

did I get it right? thank you very much

Yeah, you got it right.

You can do that, and in fact that is what I do, but I leave exim so that I have a Plan B in case things go south.

Thanks guerrero,

I will do as you say, but dovecot and rondcube I can take them off
