How to configure Sendmail inside a docker container

Question

I have a Docker container running PHP and Apache AWS instance which has the docker instance running. I am not able to send an email from the docker terminal. Is there any way to send an email from docker instance using Sendmail which uses the docker's host's configuration?. 

I am not sure what the error is. 

Answer 1

Maybe Sendmail or any other mail service for that matter is installed in your Dockerfile The host, however, apparently does have Sendmail available. The "best" or most Docker-like solution is to spin up another container that runs an MTA and configure your application to use that.
