I have gotten FUDForum up and running, configured for my needs.

I could never figure out how to disable the requirement of an email address for a user, so I just filled them in with garbage info, just so I could create my users' accounts. No problem.

Now, however, I think it might be useful to have FUDForum send out an email message to my users when I add a new post instead of me texting them, so I'm trying to find the place where I tell FUDForum how to hook up to email.

Normally, when software needs to send email, I have to provide the IP address of the server, the port (normally 25 or 587), username and password.

I cannot find where to provide this in the admin panels. What am I missing?


Oh, if it matters, I'm using FUDforum 3.0.4

It's in the Administration -> Global Settings -> E-Mail menu.

Ahh, I see it now. There's a toggle to "Use SMTP" I had to set that to yes to get the fields required... Sneaky!

Thanks!
