I tried the mail.settings.server='localhost:25' but still no results. As for Russel's comment, ultimately I intend to loop on a db of possibly thousands of users. I intend to put some pause between user emails in order to not trip spam filters. Do you anticipate a problem from that configuration?
As for the for loop in my test case, it's only looking to email to me, for the time being (hence the if not me: continue statement). Now, the message.html file is under /web2py/applications/myapp/views/admin/ message.html. Is that the correct place to put it?
