There's a thread titled "templates/extensions.openoffice.org outbound mail" on the private@ list last year which has a lot of details. I don't think much has changed since then.
In summary, SourceForge web hosting in general stopped supporting sending outbound mail many years ago. But we set up an exception for AOOT/E sites to send mail through a Sparkpost service account. Then last year Sparkpost disabled the account due to a high bounce rate of the emails (a common practice in email service providers, so that their reputation and other users are not jeopardized). We may want to go back to the private thread, if thats ok since there's various backend configuration and settings involved. If so, please CC me as I am not subscribed to the private list.
