Ok, so I came across nullmailer, which seems to do exactly what I want -
forward mail to an existing smtp server. But it isn't working. I'm using the
mail() php function, and the mails aren't arriving. The same code works fine
on a windows machine pointing to the same smtp server. Does anybody have any
experience configuring nullmailer? How do I tell linux to use nullmailer as
the default MTA? Thanks!!
I don't know why do you want to replace your Linux installation MTA. Usually is sendmail or compatible and can be configured to relay messages to a SMTP server instead of deliverying them directly.
Under Linux/Unix PHP just hands the message to the sendmail program. It would not make much sense to relay messages a SMTP server when sendmail can be more efficient by sending them directly to the SMTP of the recipient users, unless you are trying to send messages from a server that is blacklisted and the world is not accepting messages from it or because of some other blocking reason.
Anyway, if you really want to relay messages to a SMTP server under Linux/Unix, the mail function will not do that. Instead you may want to try this class that comes with a wrapper function named smtp_mail(). It emulates the mail() function and the purpose of its arguments except that it can relay the messages a SMTP server of choice.
