chrooted ISPConfig with suPHP & Joomla phpmail settings.

[SamTzu]

I have now tried to solve this on my own for several days but It's clearly time to ask for help.

My setup;
ISPConfig Virtual Machine with chroot, suPHP.
Works nicely.

I have a friend whose Joomla site I started hosting but have been unable to figure out how to get the /usr/sbin/postfix to work in my server.

I tried to use the "real" path, no luck.
I tried to copy that to the users folder, no luck.
I tried to define the whole path /var/www/web16/usr/sbin/postfix, no luck.

Whats next? Anyone?

What do you want to do with the postfix binary?

[SamTzu]

Send mail from Joomla.

Doesn't Joomla use PHP's mail() function?
What are the settings that Joomla asks for (regarding email)?

[SamTzu]

It used to be /usr/sbin/sendmail
Now I'm not sure what to use.

sendmail is the correct binary name to send emails with postfix too.

[SamTzu]

So should it work if I just copy the binary to the specified folder?
Remember I have chrooted environment with suPHP.

It might work, but I'am not sure. Why dont you use a smtp connection on localhost instead?

[SamTzu]

How do I configure that?
What shall I enter in to the Joomla Sendmail Path?

SMTP connections do not work trough thes endmail path. Does joomla has no settings to use either the php mail function or a real smtp server?
