Change Details

Currently, it seems that it's not possible to send email from PHP (with either the `php5.6` or `php7.2` container). We only want to be able to send to the tool maintainers' email address (for T204860). Following [[https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge#Mail_from_Tools | the instructions for mailing from tools]] gets the error "/usr/sbin/exim: No such file or directory". This might already be possible, in which case I'd love someone to tell me how to do it. Thanks! //(This is a follow-up from T188318#4628389.)//

Containers running on the Toolforge Kubernetes cluster do not install and configure a local mailer service like the `exim` service that is installed on grid engine nodes. Tools running in Kubernetes should instead send email using an external SMTP server. The `mail.tools.wmflabs.org` service name should be usable for this. This service name is used as the public `MX` (mail exchange) host for inbound SMTP messages to the tools.wmflabs.org domain and should always point to a server that can process both inbound and outbound email for Toolforge. --- **Original bug report:** Currently, it seems that it's not possible to send email from PHP (with either the `php5.6` or `php7.2` container).
