problems with forum mail

Post by lordofcaos »

good evening, I'm installing the forum on my server (pc) everything is going well except that I can't get the emails out, I'm using google's gsmt service and configured it with all the info but I can't get the emails out, As additional information I have the ports open. :cry: :cry:

It is better and easier to use a email account from your own domain name.

in order to send and receive email from your home pc you have to not only have web server software installed but you have to
know how to setup the email properly and securely. unless you really know what you are doing I would not suggest you
try to run your board online from your home computer. It can be a very big security risk for you.


luck,
robert
