Configuring outgoing mail

TWiki will use the Net::SMTP module in case it is installed on your system. You need to specify the SMTPMAILHOST variable in TWikiPreferences.

You can use an external mail program like sendmail in case the Net::SMTP module is not installed. In this case specify the $mailProgram in twiki/bin/TWiki.cfg.

Call mailnotify in regular intervals

For Unix platforms: Edit the cron table so that mailnotify is called in an interval of your choice. Please consult man crontab of how to modify the table that schedules program execution at certain intervals. Example:

 
% crontab -e
15,45 * * * * (cd ~twiki/public_html/bin; ./mailnotify -q)
Changed:
<
<
The above line will call mailnotify at 15 minutes and 45 minutes past every hour. The -q switch suppresses all normal output.
>
>
The above line will call mailnotify at 15 minutes and 45 minutes past every hour. The -q switch suppresses all normal output.

On Windows NT / 2000 you can use a scheduled task.
