E-Mail settings

Starting with Geeklog 1.3.9, Geeklog uses the PEAR::Mail class to send all emails. You can then select whether emails should be sent through SMTP, sendmail, or PHP's mail() function.

Within $_CONF['mail_settings'] you have the following options

Variable	Default Value	Description
backend	mail	Used to select how to send email. Can be one of 'smtp', 'sendmail', or 'mail'.
sendmail_path	/usr/bin/sendmail	If you chose 'sendmail' for the backend setting, this specifies the complete path to the sendmail binary.
sendmail_args	(empty)	If you chose 'sendmail' for the backend setting, this variable can be used to pass additional parameters to the sendmail binary.
host	smtp.example.com	If you chose 'smtp' for the backend setting, this is the SMTP server to use.
port	25	If you chose 'smtp' for the backend setting, this is the port number to talk to on the SMTP server.
auth	false	If you chose 'smtp' for the backend setting, set this to true if your SMTP server requires authorization, and false if it doesn't.
username	smtp-username	If you chose 'smtp' for the backend setting, this is the name of your SMTP account.
password	smtp-password	If you chose 'smtp' for the backend setting, this is the password for your SMTP account.
