Notes:
|
|
15
|
|
|
16
|
This module sends email by connecting to an SMTP server.
|
|
17
|
Therefore you need to have access to an SMTP server for this module to work.
|
|
18
|
|
|

|
Drupal will often use the email address entered into "Administrator>Site configuration>E-mail address"
|
|
20
|
as the from address. It is important for this to be the correct address and some ISPs will block email
|
|
21
|
that comes from an invalid address.
|
|
22
|
|
|
23
|
Because this module includes PHPMailer it is rather large and may cause PHP to run out of memory if
|
|
24
|
its memory limit is small.
|
|
25
|
|
|
26
|
Connecting to an SMTP server using SSL is possible only if PHP's openssl extension is working.
|
|
27
|
If the SMTP module detects openssl is available it will display the options in the modules settings page.
|
|
28
|
|
|
29
|
Sending mail to gmail requires SSL or TLS.
|
|

|

|
This module uses the smtp and mail class's from PHPMailer.
