I am in the process of setting up this script. I got the info about how to set up Cron jobs from your documentation in the script. I have a generic question.
Can you use "localhost" for the SMTP server? I have configured some other Perl scripts out there for a few customers on Unix that send out emails and the scripts did not have sendmail as the coding for the program, they used SMTP. However, if I used localhost as the SMTP server, the code worked and emails were sent.
If this is the case and it works, can't anyone just use localhost if they do not know the SMTP server for any of the email mods in the Gossamer Threads support forums? Please explain so I hopefully don't get my self in trouble in the future or misguide anyone here. Thanks!
