Does OSQA support Sendmail for an alternative to SMTP? |
|
OSQA is not likely to support direct access to Sendmail. The SMTP functionality provides solid, high-volume mail handling and is more thoroughly standards-based than Sendmail. If a customer approached us and needed this feature, then I suppose we would develop a module for it, but without specific sponsorship it probably won't happen. |

That's strange, I'm running a mail program on my linux server at mediatemple and set the mail options to just use localhost, and voila it worked. I was thinking it needed something special too since it looks like it wants an smtp host like setting up a mail client.

If you are running an email server on the local machine, then you probably have smtp running there too. That is different than sendmail.

this i something i really want to know too
I'm not sure if this is a good idea. In my experience, mails sent using SendMail doesn't have a verified source so most often than not, they are marked as spam by some email services like Yahoo Mail and Gmail.
