Transport

Summary

Controls how eZ Publish delivers outgoing mail.

Usage

 Transport=sendmail|smtp|file

Description

This setting controls how eZ Publish should deliver outgoing mail. There are three options:

"sendmail" - direct delivery through sendmail (must be available on the server)
"smtp" - indirect delivery using an SMTP relay server
"file" - mail is stored on the filesystem instead of being sent

The default value of this setting is "sendmail", which means that mail is delivered directly using the sendmail transfer agent (available on UNIX/Linux systems only).

If sendmail is not available then SMTP should be used. (Make sure that SMTP server details are specified using the TransportServer, TransportPort, TransportUser and TransportPassword settings.)

If you need to check/view emails generated by the system without actually sending them out, set this directive to "file". Outgoing mails will be stored as separate files under the "var/log/mail" directory of your eZ publish installation. Note that this option is for testing purposes only and should not be used on production/live sites.
