• Question about SMTP

    From Phil Taylor@1:275/201.1 to All on Wed Jan 1 22:32:56 2020

    I am using the current version of Mystic BBS running under Linux. Is the SMTP mail server only able to send mail to the local users only?

    Thanks
    Phil

    Mystic BBS offers a SMTP server that allows a sysop or user to configure an email client so that it can connect to the BBS in order to send BBS email.

    To clarify: BBS email is private one to one email between BBS users. It's accessed when logged in to the BBS by using the MC and MW menu commands. This email resides solely within the BBS and is not (at this point) external email that you can send via the Internet to someone else using a typical email address.

    The default port for SMTP is 25 but this can be set to something different if you wish.
