Can't send email from Nginx php - fpm based dedi? - nginx

Question

I have a site and it has contact page. in that page there is Email & Comment tab. Whenever someone Put his email & comment & click on submit mail should come to my email. but it is not working.
I am using this php file for mail function.
I have nginx & php - fpm installed in my dedicated server.
<?php
/*
This first bit sets the email address that you want the form to be submitted to.
You will need to change this value to a valid email address that you can access.
*/
$webmaster_email = "myemail#yahoo.com";
/*
This bit sets the URLs of the supporting pages.
If you change the names of any of the pages, you will need to change the values here.
*/
$feedback_page = "contact.html";
$error_page = "error_message.html";
$thankyou_page = "thank_you.html";
/*
This next bit loads the form field data into variables.
If you add a form field, you will need to add it here.
*/
$email_address = $_REQUEST['email_address'] ;
$comments = $_REQUEST['comments'] ;
/*
The following function checks for email injection.
Specifically, it checks for carriage returns - typically used by spammers to inject a CC list.
*/
function isInjected($str) {
$injections = array('(\n+)',
'(\r+)',
'(\t+)',
'(%0A+)',
'(%0D+)',
'(%08+)',
'(%09+)'
);
$inject = join('|', $injections);
$inject = "/$inject/i";
if(preg_match($inject,$str)) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
// If the user tries to access this script directly, redirect them to the feedback form,
if (!isset($_REQUEST['email_address'])) {
header( "Location: $feedback_page" );
}
// If the form fields are empty, redirect to the error page.
elseif (empty($email_address) || empty($comments)) {
header( "Location: $error_page" );
}
// If email injection is detected, redirect to the error page.
elseif ( isInjected($email_address) ) {
header( "Location: $error_page" );
}
// If we passed all previous tests, send the email then redirect to the thank you page.
else {
mail( "$webmaster_email", "Feedback Form Results",
$comments, "From: $email_address" );
header( "Location: $thankyou_page" );
}
?>
But mail is not coming to my email. it was working when i have apache. I am new to nginx. so how can i make it work for nginx.
Any help would be appreciated.

There you go a very sweet alternative to using mail() function.
See last function for configuration.
<?php

# ATTACHED FILES

# CONFIG GENERAL

private $smtp_port = "25";

function setSmtpHost($value) { if($value != "") $this->smtp_host = $value; }
function setSmtpPort($value) { if($value != "") $this->smtp_port = $value; }
function setSmtpUser($value) { if($value != "") $this->smtp_username = $value; }
function setSmtpPass($value) { if($value != "") $this->smtp_password = $value; }
# CONFIG SOCKET
private $from = "sokmail#localhost"; // sender email address
private $host = "localhost"; // your domain name here
private $port = "25"; // it is always 25 but i think it's best to have this for tests when developper pc has port 25 blocked and server has alternate port [i use 26 cause 25 is locked for anti SPAM by ISP]
private $time = "30"; // timeout [time short :D]
private $test = false; // test mode, does not send the email but you can see the log up to the point of sending email, good to check email addresses if valid or server if black-listed
function setFrom($value) { if($value != "") $this->from = $value; }
function setHost($value) { if($value != "") $this->host = $value; }
