When I try to send an email as root using the following command, the email delivers successfully:
echo "Test" | sendmail -r user#mydomain.com myemail#gmail.com
But when I send an email, using the same command, as a different user, it does not deliver the email even though it's successful in the logs.
Log as root:

We have a perl script which tries to send an email notification when the system is about to shut down. To do this, we catch the SIGTERM and call Unix mail command to send email in the signal handler. SIGTERM is caught but the unix mail log shows that the FROM and TO address are changed from user#companyname.com to user#hostname during shutdown. Any idea why the system does this and how to prevent it? (Please note: The same email works fine when we run the script and kill the process from terminal)
Here is the perl code snippet:
$SIG{TERM} = \&signal_handler;
sleep(3600);
sub signal_handler {
my $email_address = 'user#companyname.com';
system("echo \"TestBody\" | mail -s \"TestEmailSubject\" -c \"$email_address\" -r \"$email_address\" \"$email_address\"");
}
Here is what is printed in /var/log/mail/mail during shutdown:

Here is the working case when we kill the process from terminal:

the postfix system is probably being shut down earlier in the shutdown process than your script. Have you confirmed within your script that the mail system is still up after your script has tried to send an email?
I have deployed a symfony app to the production server, which has a feature that sends emails. I have tested sending mails and they work in Dev/Test.
Here is the log from the production server:

Simple usecase but doesn't work.

All good.
Test Sending email as: echo "This is a test email body " | mail -s "This is a test email " dk#xxx.com

All green, no errors, just as things seem to be too good to be true, I never receive this email in gmail.
What am I missing ?
Thank you,
First off, you can't send an email from localhost. You need a mail relay. Since you're already using gmail I would recommend this:
https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/configure-postfix-to-use-gmail-as-a-mail-relay/
I am trying to send a mail with a non root user (also by tuleap application) but i have some trouble.
when we use a root user with command
echo “TR : This is a test of sending mail” | mail -s Test <mail>
it return this log and my email is sent

Try to remove sendmail and install postfix instead. And tell me if it works better this way. You'll find how to do it here.
I'm facing an issue with delivering e-mails.
I've successfully setup dovecot + postfix + mysql. The issue is that e-mails is not in the INBOX when I send e-mails from localhost (for example from php script). It works perfectly when I send e-mails from any other server. I have no idea what could cause this issue. Maillog seems to be OK. Where should I take a look?
Log for undelivered e-mail looks like this

FIXED IT
Just in case somebody else would face this issue. Check your /etc/hosts file
if you have
39.29.192.294 domain.com
Of course with your public ip address & your domain.
It wouldn't deliver any e-mail sent from localhost to #domain.com. Remove this line & it should works ;)
