Help with Wt::Mail

Added by Sergey Perunov about 12 years ago

Hi all,

I'm reading the documentation to Wt::Mail, and I am trying to find how you would authenticate against the SMTP server; examples seemt o only connect to localhost.

Would I be able to connect to a gmail account for example? Is there a tutorial/example showing how to do that?

Hey Sergey,

Indeed, Wt::Mail is mostly limited to connecting to a local SMTP server.

You can usually work around this limitation by installing a local SMTP server that relays further upstream.

See for example, using sendmail:

http://cri.ch/linux/docs/sk0009.html

Or using postfix:

Note, you do not want to create an open mail relay, but simply one that relays mails from localhost.
