I know it's possible to use

smtp.gmail.com

as a SMTP server

Can anyone tell me please how do I set it up in my XOOPS website?

I'm going to

System Admin - Preferences - Mail Setup

What should I do then? What should I put in in this window?

And where do I put in the "smtp.gmail.com" and should I use the username & password for my Gmail account as well?!

Please provide details as much as you can!

2 lines answers are really not likeable for me

So please explain it with a lot of details, because my knowledge in this subject is way under the ground

You cant do it like that ... get back to the other original thread.

1. because i think gmail does not support that
2. becuase awardspace has fsocket disabled and therefore you won´t get an outside smtp connection anyway

I asked it already in the other topic, but I'll ask it again in a case someone would read this topic only


Yes, it's free, but that's not the issue

I found so many other free SMTP servers

look at that:

http://www.freemailguide.com/free_pop3_email.html

There's a big list of free SMTP servers!

The issue is I can't configure it properly

Look at this topic

http://forum.awardspace.com/viewtopic.php?p=14173#14173

(It's a topic at Awardspace.com's website forum)

What is the "Path to sendmail" what is it?!?!

What should I put in it?!?!

I checked other peoples' problems with XOOPS (googled it) and I saw so many people complained on the same problem I have (that after registration activation email isn't sent) - and the solution they were offered is to check with the host the details

But that's not it!!

I just wanna know what is exacly this "Path to sendmail"! What is it?

And why is it set on

/usr/sbin/sendmail

What is this

/usr/sbin/sendmail

there is no directory named USR in my webspace host!

Neither SBIN !!

So what exacly is it?!

And should I change it to what?!

Suppose I'm using a free SMTP server - what should I put in??

I didn't see an answer for that, and it's so bothering me
