[Typo3] DirectMail - set used smtp server ?

[Thorsten Kahler]

Hi W,

it's not possible to change the SMTP server used by direct_mail. SMTP is  
configured in php.ini and could be changed in your vhost configuration (at  
least for apache). Default is to use sendmail on the local machine (*nix)  
respectively locahost:25 (win).

In most cases it would be possible to change these settings by a call to  
ini_set(), but up to now no one wanted to use a different smtp server for  
direct_mail. So there's no possibility yet to configure a different smtp  
server in direct mail.

If you're working on win there's a "fake sendmail for windows" [1] we  
recently used on a testing environment. With this tool you can use an  
external smtp server (including auth) with PHP.

Regards
Thorsten

It's not a bug - it's an undesired feature.
