Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Post installation: configure oacs-5-9 nsd to autostart and postfix configured to send notifications

OpenACS usually "just works" if the local mail system is working.

Getting email to work on a localhost may be tricky as it likely depends at least partly on your local ISP; unless the email server is working in isolation with the localhost system. Here's a link for ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/postfix.html
