1: How to configure a remote mail server

Posted by Esti Alvarez on 12/09/09 05:17 PM

Hello,

I have a site running on an old OpenACS version (5.1.1), and I'm currently required to configure the Mail service to use an external SMTP server. I cannot find the way to do it, I can't find where the configuration file for mail settings is. Can anybody help me, please?

Thanks!

First set your Mailhost parameter in the config.tcl

See http://cvs.openacs.org/cvs/openacs-4/etc/config.tcl?revision=1.51&view=markup

Next go to the acs-mail-lite package parameters and set the Sendmailbin parameter SMTP.

Thank you Dave!

I don't even have acs-mail-lite installed, but just the first step seems to have made it.

Thanks again!
