SMTP Server Re: [wplug] Mail server question (dumb one)

[Patryk Laurent]

Russ,

Is your RedHat box running "sendmail" or some other SMTP server?  That is, 
can you connect to its port 25?  If not, my guess is that you'll want to 
either set up sendmail on your box, or see if there's a php.ini setting 
that lets you point to your ISP's SMTP server.
