Hi,
I found the way to configure the mail properties in php.ini.

Now the point is that the mailer requires authentication. I verified tha the mails are sent from ODM using a Virtual Machine with an IIS SMTP, and the log shows the talk beetwen the ODM server and the contiguous VM, which ends with an access denied to corporate mailer.

So I will ask the mail user for this to mail infrastructure people, but I will be able to set user and password.


Someone already configured that?

Thanks
Best Regards
Fabio D'Alfonso

ODM simply uses the PHP mail() function. Once it gets past that it is up to your server to handle the mail message.

I made a search today about this.
Actually mail() doesn't support SMTP Authentication, and the most of mailers now require that. I found some robust alternative on the web but I have not for the moment the skills to make the changes from myself.

I would ask if this feature could be added to ODM. I would be very happy to give the help I could.

The place in which I am starting the ODM is a wide public insurance in Italy with about 15,000 mail users. So is not reasonable to expect that an anonymous rely could be authorized.

I am at disposal to help to do this if someone leads this.

Best Regards

You can add that as a feature request. Maybe a PEAR smtp library could be used in the future, or some other mail lib.
