Does the emailing of events only work if you have an internal SMTP server?

Coder68
I put in a valid POP3 email, but they just bounce.  For all of these emails, do I have to have my own SMTP server? Or can I just point it to my ISP email that uses SMTP (I think) to move mail around? Or is there some other setting I need to apply?

Thanks,

C68

    Have you examined one of those bounced emails to see what the reason is?

    Coder68, go into Webadmin, Management, Notifications.  In the Global tab, configure a real sender email address that can be relayed by your ISP's SMTP Server (since you do not have your own).  In the Advanced Tab, configure it to use your ISP's SMTP server to send notifications.

    OK. I will give that a try. (I will use my Verizon account email.)

    BAlfson , I was trying to figure out how to do exactly that...

    While I am on the subject of SMTP servers... If I were to run a SMTP server in my home, but it isnot  using a real domain like astaro.org, is there a way "relay" my verizon email to my SMTP server?  

    Thanks,

    No, it's likely that Verizon has an SPF record and that anyone with decent anti-spam would bounce your emails.

    Cheers - Bob
