From ResourceSpace Documentation Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Since r2669 it is possible to configure ResourceSpace to use an external SMTP server for outgoing emails. Open config.default.php and search for ”$use_smtp”. Copy all the rows containing the smtp configuration to config.php and do the following changes in this file:

  • Change 
$use_smtp=false;

to 

$use_smtp=true;
  • Edit the settings below to match the settings for your SMTP server and your email account 
# SMTP settings:
$smtp_secure=''; # '', 'tls' or 'ssl'. For Gmail, 'tls' or 'ssl' is required.
$smtp_host=''; # Hostname, e.g. 'smtp.gmail.com'.
$smtp_port=25; # Port number, e.g. 465 for Gmail using SSL.
$smtp_username=''; # Username (full email address).
$smtp_password=''; # Password.
  • Make sure the row below is found somewhere in the file 
$use_phpmailer=true;
