1: SMTP in OpenACS
Posted by Andrew Zeon on 10/13/02 05:44 PM
Hi,

Whilst I was coding, I used the ns_sendmail function to send mail
and it worked without having to set up any sort of SMTP server (or
making any changes to my config file). Is there a built in one in
OpenACS 4.6? Just wanted to know how it's working.

Thanks.

I think by default its set to use the local sendmail (or similar)
Therefore if' you've got a fairly bog standard unix setup with mail all et up, yup it would work.

You can change the SMTP server by altering the 'Mailhost' parameter in you .tcl config file
