Hello Fabrice, Thank you for "postfix" mail server suggestion, but I just saw your answer so I come up with another solution for sending registration emails :)
I used Google's free smtp servers (https://support.google.com/a/answer/176600?hl=en) In order to use their smtp server, I needed to change the code a bit, Added two fields under "alerting" at conf/pf.conf [alerting] smtpAuthUser= smtpAuthPass= Google's "smtp.gmail.com" server requires, SSL or TLS with Authentication, changed "sub send_email" code in "lib/pf/email_activation.pm" The MIME::Lite::TT module does not support TLS or SSL as far as I understand, Thus, I've used Email::Sender::Simple::sendmail() method with Email::Sender::Transport::SMTPS to authenticate to smtp.gmail.com server through TLS port. Maybe this is not a common use case, but in my situation, my PacketFence test environment is directly connected to internet through ISP for security reasons, thus I couldn't point PF to company's internal mail server. Thank you...
