Guest Guest Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Hey, ive just setup a ubuntu webserver to run our intranet. Im after a nice lightweight email app for it just for the purpose of sending emails generated by joomla. Nothing flashy, just want it to send emails Any recommendations?
Geoff Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 You need to install the Simple SMTP Server. apt-get install ssmtp Then edit /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf as required.
Guest Guest Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Cheers but that just forwards the mails to an upstream mail server. How would i use it?
Geoff Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Well I assume you just want Joomla to be able to send emails out? If so, simply installing ssmtp and configuring it as I've described above should be enough. PHP will start using it without you needing to do anything.
Guest Guest Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Hmm.. Well it dont seem to be working. Bet its bl00dy easynet blocking the ports again!!! I went on our webmail site and found out the url for their/our smtp server yet it still doesnt work even when pointed towards that... Easynet i love you :grrr:
Geoff Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 It works fine here. I use it for Nagios/Moodle/MRBS/Apt_Cron/etc
