Mailhog + php fails with: "unknown shorthand flag: 'o' in -oi"

[pnoeric]

Hi, I've installed Mailhog per the instructions and it's working great (I can see it at localhost:8025 and send messages from the command line). However, the alias for sendmail that should override php and let the mail() function use mailhog is not working.

First, when I go into the shell and test mailhog, this works perfectly:

/usr/local/bin/mhsendmail --smtp-addr="mailhog:1025" [email protected] <<EOF
From: App <[email protected]>
To: Test <[email protected]>
Subject: Test message

Some content!
EOF

After I execute that, I can see the message at localhost:8025. All good there.

However, my php app fails with:

unknown shorthand flag: 'o' in -oi
Usage of /usr/local/bin/mhsendmail:
  -f, --from="nobody@php": SMTP sender
      --smtp-addr="localhost:1025": SMTP server address
Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: Could not execute: /usr/local/bin/mhsendmail --smtp-addr="mailhog:1025"

No idea what the '-o' flag is, but it appears to be passed from php to mhsendmail where it fails.

I did see that mhsendmail's most recent commit says: Added -o option for compatibility

That was back in 2017. Could it be that an old version of mhsendmail is included with devilbox? I might try to figure out how I can update mhsendmail inside the box... hmmm...

FWIW I confirmed that I have the latest version of devilbox too:

# git pull origin master
From https://github.com/cytopia/devilbox
 * branch              master     -> FETCH_HEAD
Already up to date.

# git describe --tags
v1.0.2-6-g0543f2da

Yeah, here's the sendmail flag that php appears to be passing:

Then I discovered that the latest official release of mhsendmail was in 2016, BEFORE they added support for the -oi flag.

So it seems I need to build the latest mhsendmail from source. I tried to do that (following this thread) but no luck, since I don't have the go compiler inside devilbox, nor apt-get.

Ok, now I'm stuck. ;-)

Try installing the mhsendmail binary you want like: https://github.com/Tuurlijk/docker-php-fpm/blob/master/7.2/php/Dockerfile#L36

@pnoeric will be addressed here: devilbox/docker-php-fpm#143

FYI: The new version of mhsendmail now supports those flags.

@cytopia thank you! 👍🏻
