Mail configuration
===================
SeedDMS uses email to
* notify users about changes of documents and folders
* send instructions during the password forgotten process
Configuring email in SeedDMS is simple on systems running a
local mail server, because this is the default in SeedDMS and
no additional configuration is needed. On Linux you should
consider running a local mail server, which relais the mails
to your outgoing mail server. If you cannot run a local mail
server, you can still configure SeedDMS to use an outgoing
SMTP server. Below are some examples on how to configure
SeedDMS for different hosters.
1&1
---------
smtp server: ssl://smtp.1und1.de
smtp port: 465
Gmail
---------
smtp server: smtp.gmail.com
smtp port: 587
note: you have to turn on 'Less secure app access' in your google account,
otherwise you will not be able to send mail. It will quit with an error
complaining about wrong credentials
