MailHog incompatibility with Symfony

[tobiasmuehl]

Symfony uses Swiftmailer, which will try to call /usr/sbin/sendmail by default.

/usr/sbin/sendmail is not symlinked by ScotchBox, but even if you manually add the link it doesn't work. Swiftmail will default the sendmail flag to -bs, which is currently unsupported by mhsendmail. I've opened an issue in the mhsendmail repo, but in the meanwhile this fix worked for me:

$ cat /usr/sbin/sendmail

#!/usr/bin/python

import sys
import subprocess

args = sys.argv[1:]
if '-bs' in args: args.remove('-bs')
cmd = ['/usr/bin/sendmail'] + args;
subprocess.call(cmd)


$ sudo cmhod +x /usr/sbin/sendmail
