1: DotLrn Sending Emails
Posted by Brett Houghton on 03/17/05 11:57 PM
Hi, I am new to DotLrn and have set it up in a test envirnoment and all appears to be working ok so far. But I cannot get it to send an email to our email server. I must have missed this when setting up. Can anyone point me to where I configure an external email server?
I hope I am posting thist to the correct forum.

Thanks

Brett

You need to add a line to your AOLserver configuration file (config.tcl or whatever you called it):
ns_section "ns/parameters"
ns_param   mailhost        smtp.yourserver.com
The ns/parameters section will already be there, just add the mailhost param and AOLserver (and by extension .LRN/OpenACS) will use it rather than the machine it is working on.
