I am having some issues where Magento 2 we are not getting any email confirmations of any sort. I have checked Magento configuration and everything is correct in terms of settings.
But when I have tail -f the mail log there is nothing being outputted to the log, its just blank.
I have also checked the exception log and there is nothing that appears in there to do with mail, not that I can see. I have also checked and the cron settings in the back-end are all correct.
You need to set up Cron Jobs for Magento
Check your Cron Jobs
http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/config-guide/cli/config-cli-subcommands-cron.html
Your cron run could depend on your server. So I'll use Magento Official documentation
Login to your server using ssh and type
which php
Result will be something like this
/usr/bin/php
Add following cron jobs
* * * * * /usr/bin/php <magento install dir>/bin/magento cron:run
* * * * * /usr/bin/php <magento install dir>/bin/magento setup:cron:run
* * * * * /usr/bin/php <magento install dir>/update/cron.php
Turns out I had to turn on Postfix on the server, seems to work now
Put your code in try-cache block, so if any error occurs in code, it will show in your code. First of all check that your email server is running with test php mail function.
