Hi Jamileh, Set the address of the Network SMTP Server in the t2server.ini/witango.ini configuration file (e.g., MAILSERVER=smtp.local.net). This tells the Mail Action where to find a SMTP Service.
By default its set to 127.0.0.1 which means "this" Server, which is why it works if there is a SMTP Server on the same machine as Witango. Then, because your Witango Server is presumably on a "known" Server of your Network - just have your "Powers That Be" define the appropriate firewall/Server rules to allow Witango to talk to the SMTP Service over the Network. This is not an unreasonable request, because access can be restricted to local IP addresses and such. Note: The Witango Mail Action is not a 100% fool-proof method of send large quantities of email. For heavy demands on email, explore the new <@EMAIL> Metatags in v5. Hope this helps. Cheers......
