Failed to process alert transport

Like others, I’m receiving the ‘failed to process alert transport’ when setting up any kind of alert transport, I’ve tried email, slack and a few others. They all give the same error.

I’ve read that sometimes it can be caused by DNS, but DNS seems fine. validate.php says everything is good… Is there any other debug logs that I can look to determine why it’s failing?

$ ./validate.php

Figured it out - of course, when you’ve been working on it for hours… you figure it out as soon as you post on the forums.

There was no internal SMTP daemon running (sendmail…) once I installed sendmail and started it, I was able to create the transport… (even though I was adding the slack transport, which shouldn’t be using email).

Weird behavior, but whatever.
