"Sendmail" option not available

flyerjet · August 31, 2020, 5:48pm

Steps to reproduce

Install Owncloud.
As an admin, go to Settings > Admin > General
In the the “Email Server” section, open the “Send Mode” list.

Expected behaviour

According to the documentation, there should be “Sendmail”, “qmail”, “php” and “smtp” in the list.

Actual behaviour

There is only PHP in the list.

Note

PHP is running in chrooted mode.
I am using this fork of mini_sendmail : https://github.com/vkucukcakar/mini_sendmail

I also tried to use the PHP method, but it does not work.

	public function getPriority() {
		return 20;
	}

	public function getPanel() {
		$template = new Template('settings', 'panels/admin/mail');
		// Should we display sendmail as an option?
		$template->assign('read-only', $this->config->isSystemConfigReadOnly());
		$template->assign('sendmail_is_available', $this->helper->findBinaryPath('sendmail'));

If i’m understanding this code correctly ownCloud requires a “sendmail” binary on your system which needs to be accessible to ownCloud so that the sendmail option is showing up.
