Greetings, Everyone!
I am creating a website for my school and one last thing is missing : website send mail. I am running a beautiful server with the last Virtualmin (on Debian 8) with MySQL, and PHP 7. Everything is working fine : website and emails (both Roundcube and Thunderbird). Just PHPmail is not.
The webiste is running with Joomla 3.6 (support PHP 7) and when I run the test mail (Global Config > Mail Settings) after the proper mail values, the following error message appears: Notice: SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting and Error: Test mail could not be sent.
I also have a Mautic intance and when I run the test mail after the proper configuration, the error message appears: Connection to mydomain.tld:143 Timed Out Log data: ++ Starting Swift_SmtpTransport !! Connection to mydomain:143 Timed Out (code: 0) ++ Starting Swift_SmtpTransport !! Connection to espm.life:143 Timed Out (code: 0)
The reason why I think this is related with PHPMailer is because no evidence appears on /var/log/mail.*. The request of the message doesn't get to Postfix. So I checked php.ini and I realized that sendmail_path = was commented and empty. So, I uncommented it and added first the default sendmail -t -i (as I figured in others topics on internet) then with postfix only. Restarted Apache in both situations and had no success.
I don't know what I could do. So I am here to hear from you guys.

This is the php.ini: [mail function]
sendmail_path = postfix
;mail.force_extra_parameters =
mail.add_x_header = On
mail.log =/home/mydomain/
This is tail /var/log/mail.log just after the request of test mail on website (nothing related) :

What should I do? Anyone?
Thanks in advance, J.
Howdy,
Are you able to send email from other tools, such as RoundCube, or a desktop client like Outlook or Thunderbird?
That is, is the problem just with this one application?
Also, what is the output of these commands:
netstat -an | grep :25netstat -an | grep :143
iptables -L -n
