This was annoying when some of the php web apps that I created rely on sendmail to send out email notifications. But before going ahead and installing sendmail, I thought that I would try exim4. Installing on Ubuntu is very straight forward:

apt-get install exim4  exim4-config

After installation is complete, you must run:

dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

This will allow you to configure the MTA. That is it, php will ‘just work’ because the installation also creates a symlink of sendmail to the exim binary.

If you do not run the above config command, you will see this in your exim/mainlog:

tim@*******.com R=nonlocal: Mailing to remote domains not supported
