Not hosting it yet, still building and testing... I have tried to use gmail (I am located in USA) and had encountered same problems you and others did. Since I am not hosted YET, and for testing purposes I needed be able to send email I decided to go with this company I found yesterday... In this regard it seems like the same solution you found when you mentioned *"the mail settings was given by the site people themself... "*
The Web2Py book on this subject is correct - it just doesn't work with gmail as SMTP. This is what I have in my db.py and it works: ##configure email from gluon.tools import Mail mail=auth.settings.mailer mail.settings.server ='smtp.mandrillapp.com:587' # this is the SMTP and port mail.settings.sender = 'mya...@gmail.com' # note that a gmail adrs CAN BE USED as sender mail.settings.login = 'mya...@gmail.com:pwdYouGonnaGetFromMandrillapp' Take care, NeoToren On Wednesday, January 22, 2014 9:00:35 AM UTC-5, Akash Agrawall wrote: > > Can you explain it in a more brief way.
