Embedded SMTP server

[Rick F.]

Hi all -

Does ofbiz (or will it) have an embedded SMTP server to send order confirmations and the like? I've seen the config file general.properties,  but it doesn't allow for a change in ports or SSL - either that or I'm not configuring it right. I was trying to use Yahoo's business mail server, but I can't connect without being able to configure these additional properties.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Rick

there has been talk about it.
the Java mail is more a client.
if you want a smtp server I suggest you put James on another server,
since it would bog down the CPU during Attacks or heavy mail, from my
personal experience.

Changing of the ports and ssl were added in revision 606789.  These
were required in order to support using gmail as the "sender's" email
account

I apologize did not read the part about yahoo.
use yPOPS, then just configure ofbiz to 127.0.0.1
note you have to change the java mail container for incoming.

Chris,
   
  The added fields also work for Yahoo business mail. You may want to add that as a comment along with the Gmail stuff in general.properties.
   
  Thanks for the support

Also not this does not effect the Java mail container for bringing
emails into ofbiz.
