configure sendmail for php email()

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

Recently I installed sendmail in Ubuntu

sudo apt install sendmail
sudo sendmailconfig

When I try to send mail using php email(); function to send email

$to = "myemail@gmail.com";
$subject = "Mail Test at ".strftime("%T", time());
$message = "This is a test.";
$message = wordwrap($message, 70);
$from = "anotheremail@gmail.com";
$headers = "From: {$from}";
$result = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
echo $result ? "sent" : "error";

Now when I browse the php site I get sent message but I don't get email (in my official email). Can anybody help?
