Control Sendmail with Swiftmailer in Symfony

The following Code works on the server i am using (Hosteurope WebPack):

mail('[email protected]', 'some subject', 'sendmail is working', 'From: [email protected]', "");

The following Code isn't:

$message = \Swift_Message::newInstance()
  ->setSubject('some subject')
  ->setFrom('[email protected]')
  ->setTo('[email protected]')
  ->setBody('sendmail via swiftmail is working');
$mailer = $this->get('mailer');
$logger = new Swift_Plugins_Loggers_ArrayLogger();
$mailer->registerPlugin(new Swift_Plugins_LoggerPlugin($logger));
$mailer->send($message);

And in $logger writes this error:

++ Starting Swift_Transport_SendmailTransport
<< 
!! Expected response code 220 but got code "", with message "" (code: 0)"
  ...

My configuration is:

swiftmailer:
    transport: "sendmail"
    sender_address: "[email protected]"

I do not see why one is working and the other isn't since, as far as i can tell, the call should be identical.

If your are using sendmail with symfony, it may happen that you have to pass some additional options. For example:

'/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i'

To find out which options must be passed, create a phpinfo.php on your server,

<?php
phpinfo();
>

run it and find the entries which start with:

sendmail_from
sendmail_path

Either of them will show /usr/sbin/sendmail -some_options

In order to get it working in symfony, you can't paste it in the config.yml directly - at least in my experience.

Open up services.yml and add:

swiftmailer.mailer.default.transport:
  class:     Swift_SendmailTransport
  arguments: ['/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i']

Where arguments is the path from the php entry from above.

Then set config.yml to:

swiftmailer:
    transport: sendmail

Or, if you like to separate dev and prod env, paste it in one of them.

The problem is that the Sendmail Transport does not send the From Header (as expected). Using "mail" as the transport worked for me:

swiftmailer:
    transport: "sendmail"
    sender_address: "[email protected]"

Hope this might help others having trouble with Hosteurope and sendmail/sending mails.
