Sysadmin email

[Murray]

Setting up a VPS for processwire site. Seems most VPSs block port 25 now by default. So I'm wondering how we setup to receive any error emails from Processwire? Is there a way to have Processwire send admin emails via Mailgun or the like?

Try this module.

Thanks Gideon, but looks like that also requires SMTP port (25 default) to be open which the VPS does not allow. That's why I was hoping for a solution using Mailgun or the like to bypass this block and send PW system email such as database errors etc

@Murray, did you take a look through the modules directory? https://processwire.com/modules/category/email/

Yeh thanks Robin, I'm looking over the Mailgun module now. I'm not sure how these wire mail modules fit in to PW exactly - ie, are they primarily designed for email from the likes of website contact forms or are they used by the entire Processwire system itself when sending system email, do you know?

If you have only one WireMail module installed it is used for all email sent by ProcessWire. If you have multiple WireMail modules installed there are ways you can choose which to use in any given case.
