Weird question
I don't really understand any of this.
I have a Ikonboard forum set up on a free Netfirms account. My Ikonboard needs a SMTP server to send mail, but Netfirms doesn't supply that. I have a CJB.net directory service, but I don't know if that will help me or not. What do I use as a SMTP server?Is there any free smtp servers? Once again I don't really understand this but I hope someone can help me. This is the info Ikonboard needs: incoming e-mail address outgoing e-mail address send mail using: SMTP or Sendmail e-mail content: text or html Smtp server if using smtp sendmail path if using sendmail Please post some solutions to my problem, thank you for you time. (sorry Edwin I didn't know I should of posted it here) Last edited by OtaconTV : 3 Nov 2001 at 12:31 PM. |

You don't need an SMTP server if you use Sendmail. The path is on the Netfirms FAQ Advanced features page.
Sendmail Location /usr/lib/sendmail Good Luck |

Thanks,
I didn't know what that was so i was scared to use it. (update) Thank you, it really does work. And Netfirms does not have smtp. Last edited by OtaconTV : 5 Nov 2001 at 05:53 AM. |
