    How does umbraco send emails?

    Hi there,

    In the video bellow, when talking about the workflow the author says "umbraco will send an email to the administrator..."
    http://umbraco.tv/documentation/videos/for-site-builders/building-a-news-section/workflow-users,-notifications-and-permissions

    But i didn't find where to enter SMTP settings on umbraco's backend.
    How does it works?

    (this newbie life sometimes is hard :-)

    Umbraco uses the standard smtp mail settings in the web.config file to send out email.

    <system.net>
       
    <mailSettings>
         
    <smtp>
           
    <network host="localhost" userName="username" password="password" />
         
    </smtp>
       
    </mailSettings>
     
    </system.net>

    More info from microsoft http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w355a94k.aspx

    The from mail address used to send email notifications is set in the /config/umbracosettings.config file.

        <notifications>
          <!-- the email that should be used as from mail when umbraco sends a notification -->
          <email>robot@umbraco.dk</email>
        </notifications>

    I believe those are the kind of settings that would be available through the backend, so we would be able to change it easily when necessary.
    Anyways, thanks a lot for the information, I'll change my settings now.
