AFAIK, PHP version is irrelevant. You're either going to configure sendmail to send to mailcatcher or you can send to mailcatcher via SMTP.

so the way i have setup is /etc/php/8.0/mods-available/mailcatcher.ini

sendmail_path=/usr/local/bin/catchmail

this works with php7.4, so do i need to add anything after catchmail if its using PHP 8.0 or higher.

I'm probably not the best source for this, I just configure my app to use SMTP to mailcatcher for simplicity.

How is your application setup? Are you trying to do this with docker containers, bare metal, or what? Are you using a framework?

[ghost]

i'm just uising a docker containers but the mailcatcher is part of the main docker container, so is just strange to me that php8.0 and 8.1 doesn't work as expected but php 7.4 works fine with that configuration above. I can always figure this out later. i'm jsut puzzled

[haydenk]

Does the executable /usr/local/bin/catchmail exist? What path do you get when you run which catchmail? The PHP instructions show to do /usr/bin/env catchmail which is slightly different than /usr/local/bin/catchmail. The /usr/bin/env will use the appropriate catchmail in the enviroment.

[ghost]

yeah when you install using gem install mailcatcher the catchmail and mailcatcher is all located at /usr/local/bin i could try /usr/bin/env catchmail to see if that makes any difference

Yeah, it should work. This isn't a mailcatcher issue per se, so I'll close this issue.

either way, i moved away. i can't get it to work on PHP 8.0 and PHP 8.1 so is cool.
