The configuration options can go in your dev.cfg, prod.cfg, or project/config/app.cfg, and can even be split between them, e.g. having the .server, .username, and .password entries in dev.cfg and prod.cfg, and everything else in app.cfg. At a bare minimum TurboMail requires: mail.on = True mail.server = "mail.server.tld" If your e-mail server requires authentication, add the following: mail.username = "myuser" mail.password = 'mypass' > Ok, I got it going, but don't seem to be actually making mail > happen. If I put my home emails mail server in the server config > line, should that mean that I can send out email through my regular > email connection or will I need a mail server on my dev box to do so? If you know that your e-mail server does not support TLS (encryption), then add the following line to disable automatic testing: mail.tls = False Additional information can be displayed by enabling mail.debug which may help track down any problems. For my testing (dev.cfg) I use our primary (company-wide) mail server. It is outside our network, allows TLS, and requires authentication. In the production environment for our projects (prod.cfg) the mail server is 'localhost', but the other requirements are the same - TLS and authentication. If you are on a standard SOHO or non-commercial internet connection, outbound requests on port 25 (SMTP) may be blocked. To get around this many mail servers run on both port 25 and port 2500. Simply add a colon and the port number after the server name. E.g.: mail.server = "mail.server.tld:2500" Have a great day, Matthew Bevan, Systems Administrator Top Floor Computer Systems Ltd. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
