NOTES
|
|
-----
|
|
This module sends email by connecting to an SMTP server. Therefore, you need
|
|
to have access to an SMTP server for this module to work.
|
|
|
|
Drupal will often use the email address entered into Administrator ->
|
|
Configuration -> Site information -> E-mail address as the from address. It is
|
|
important for this to be the correct address and some ISPs will block email that
|
|
comes from an invalid address.
|
|
|
|
This module no longer uses the PHPMailer package as an external library, instead
|
|
a slimmed down version of the library have been relicensed and integrated with the
|
|
smtp module.
|
|
|
|
Connecting to an SMTP server using SSL is possible only if PHP's openssl
|
|
extension is working. If the SMTP module detects openssl is available it
|
|
will display the options in the modules settings page.
|
|
|
|
Sending mail to Gmail requires SSL or TLS.
|
|
|
|
If the Maillog module (https://www.drupal.org/project/maillog) is installed, it
|
|
can be used to keep copies of all messages sent through the site.
