Email Functionality

Hi All

Can anyone give me a bit of a breakdown on how to get the email functionality working? I have configured as needed within PHPRAD, i have set my gmail account to allow less secure apps, but nothing seems to be happening.

Anyone got any tips and tricks around getting this off the ground?

thanks

Rob

Haven't tested myself yet, but it doesn't look complex at all. All you have to do is fill the SMTP information. If you have a domain name in a server, just configure any email account and provide those details to phprad. It should work.

Not sure why you are using gmail.com and not sure if gmail.com allows relay of mails from a 3rd party site.
