Thanks Steve for looking in.

I set 'smtp at ....' to our smtp server, but I kept the serverName=localhost, Sakai is able to send notification to the user's email address.

Hi,
I don't think you'll be able to use localhost as the serverName - javax.mail will be looking for a valid DNS entry, at least in my experiences. So try setting it to something real (doesn't even have to be yours)
cheers,Steve

Hi everyone,


After quite some time of installing Sakai, I have managed to make it run at my local machine.
I am trying to make myself comfortable by testing the application(Sakai 2.6). I found out that (if properly set) a user added to a site can be notified via email. Searching the mailing list, the properties needed to set to be able to send outgoing email from Sakai are: 
'smtp at org.sakaiproject.email.api.EmailService' and 'serverName'
Since I am running it locally, I set the serverName to 'localhost' and also the other property (not sure if this is correct but gave it a try). After adding a user to a site, the application works fine, but the Tomcat logs throws a 'SendFailedException..Unable to relay to xxx at xxx.com' and no email was received in the user's email address.


Thanks for the time.

 Evan
