WebCards Manual

Email Options

The following image shows the Email Options page.

Email address to contact admin

This email address will be included with all emails sent in order to report abuse.

CC address where all notifications will be sent

If you want to have all notification emails sent to a carbon copy address enter it here. This is useful for archiving messages. This setting is optional and is not recommended.

Use PHP mail() function or SMTP

This is one of the most important settings in the program. Which setting you use will depend on the configuration of your web server.
To check if the function is working in your WebCards installation click the button that says "Click here to test your email functions."

The next settings are only applicable if you use SMTP.

SMTP host

The address which points to your SMTP server. The default value for this is "localhost".

SMTP port

This is the port that the program should connect to your SMTP server through. The default value is port 25. If you are unsure about which value to choose, use 25 and if it does not work ask your webhost.

SMTP username

The username to use to communicate to the SMTP server. If the host is localhost a value is not usually required here.

SMTP password

This should correspond to the above username. Again, this is not usually required is the host is localhost.
