  20. NOTES
  21. -----
  22. This module sends email by connecting to an SMTP server. Therefore, you need
  23. to have access to an SMTP server for this module to work.
  24. Drupal will often use the email address entered into Administrator ->
  25. Configuration -> Site information -> E-mail address as the from address. It is
  26. important for this to be the correct address and some ISPs will block email that
  27. comes from an invalid address.
  28. This module no longer uses the PHPMailer package as an external library, instead
  29. a slimmed down version of the library have been relicensed and integrated with the
  30. smtp module.
  31. Connecting to an SMTP server using SSL is possible only if PHP's openssl
  32. extension is working. If the SMTP module detects openssl is available it
  33. will display the options in the modules settings page.
  34. Sending mail to Gmail requires SSL or TLS.
  35. If the Maillog module (https://www.drupal.org/project/maillog) is installed, it
  36. can be used to keep copies of all messages sent through the site.
