1 Configuration Settings
The following features may be set to enable eMail sending
// enable the feature to send inbox messages as eMails $FEATURE["inbox_to_email"] = true; // set the hostname of the mailserver. The mailserver must be // reachable from the Gentics CMS Server and must accept // relaying eMails from this server. The default is 'localhost' $MAILHOST = "mail.mycompany.org"; // Port of the mailserver $MAILPORT = 587; // set the eMail Address to be used as Return-Path header (also // called envelope address). It may be important to set this to // a real eMail address, because some target mail servers might // block eMails otherwise. $MAILRETURNPATH = "admin@mycompany.org"; // with this flag, STARTTLS will be used when communicating with the email server (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunistic_TLS) $MAILSTARTTLS = true; // username for email authentication $MAILUSERNAME = "emailuser"; // password for email authentication $MAILPASSWORD = "secret";
As Gentics CMS does not always send emails with a “From”-header, you should configure your mail sending application (sendmail, postfix) to send emails with a valid email address by default (a valid external public DNS hostname). Otherwise other mail servers will maybe reject the emails.
