BookStack receives empty response when trying to send mail

When adding a new user with my new BookStack install, I get an error:

Swift_TransportException Expected response code 220 but got an empty response

This looks like when trying to send the invite email. I've changed the config (in the .env file) from smtp to sendmail, but this still happens (oddly, the error seems to be in:

vendor/swiftmailer/swiftmailer/lib/classes/Swift/Transport/AbstractSmtpTransport.php:445

so I'm not actually sure it's properly switched over to sendmail or is still trying to use smtp.

Any hints appreciated, thanks.

Your site is probably unable to connect to the SMTP server, hence the empty response.

It is probably still trying to connect over SMTP and not sendmail if you are seeing this.

There are many reasons why this doesn't work though so please raise a ticket if you haven't sorted this out and want us to give it a closer look.
