Hi

Currently I an configuring a new server fpr FormaLMS. I do not want to setup a whole mail server, but a login to an existing mailserver and sending over that.
How did you configure your mail sending functionality?

Did you configure Postfix or ssmtp or using smtp in FormaLMS via config.php setttings?

Many thanks for hints.

Hi

In config.php there are config entries for smtp. Does enabling these act as a smtp client or does this use/needs an internal mailserver (postfix, sendmail) on the same host? What if I let one config entry empty?
I do not find any docu what these entries do:

Code: Select all

new in 2.2 
$cfg['use_smtp_database'] = 'on';  
$cfg['use_smtp'] = 'on';
$cfg['smtp_host'] ='';				// Options: hostname;hostname:port;...
//$cfg['smtp_port'] ='';			// Options: '' (default port) , port number
//$cfg['smtp_secure'] = '';			// Options: "", "ssl", "tls"
$cfg['smtp_user'] ='';
$cfg['smtp_pwd'] ='';
