Re: email server

[Matthew Ballard]

TILT uses PHP to send the e-mails, and AFAIK, the built in mail function on 
a non-Windows box can only use a mail server on the local system (typically 
sendmail).

If you want all mail passing through another server, you can configure 
sendmail to pass all e-mail to another mail server instead of delivering it 
directly, but I don't believe there is any other way.

I have inherited a Solaris box that is running TILT.  TILT is using 
sendmail on the box to mail out the results of quizzes.  I would like to 
use a different mail server, not sendmail running on TILT box.  Our 
development folks have taken a look but they are can not determine if I 
can use a different mail server.

So, my question is: Can we configure TILT to use a mail server that is not 
local?
