Before you begin#

Before you begin, confirm that the WordPress host provides a local sendmail-compatible binary and that the PHP process can access it. This profile has no remote provider credentials.

Supported transport and settings#

The Sendmail profile passes mail to a local sendmail-compatible binary on the WordPress host. It is intended for servers that already provide and configure that local mail transport.

  • Transport scheme: sendmail.
  • Required profile settings: none.
  • Optional: Sendmail command. Leave it blank to use the transport default; a supplied value overrides the command used by the transport.
  • Raw DSN override: leave empty to use the profile’s built-in sendmail transport.

For transport background, see Symfony Mailer documentation.

Create the connection#

  1. In WordPress admin, open Jooosi Mail → Connections and choose New connection.
  2. Enter a Connection name.
  3. Select Sendmail in Profile.
  4. Leave Sendmail command blank to use the transport default, or enter the command configured for your host. See Symfony’s transport documentation for command syntax.
  5. Leave Raw DSN override empty unless you intentionally use a custom transport DSN.
  6. Review the sender and other connection settings relevant to your setup, then choose Create connection.

See the shared Connect a provider guide for the connection workflow.

Verify delivery#

Follow Send a test email and send a real message to a mailbox you can check. Review the attempt in Jooosi Mail → Logs and check the host’s mail service logs. A handoff to the local binary does not confirm final delivery.

Webhooks#

The Sendmail profile does not declare provider webhook support. Review attempts in Jooosi Mail email logs and the host’s mail service logs.

Troubleshooting#

  • If the transport cannot start, confirm the host provides a sendmail-compatible binary that the WordPress PHP process can run.
  • If the transport accepts the message but it does not arrive, inspect the local mail service’s logs and verify the configured Sendmail command with the host administrator.
