I am looking through the install docs, the server administrator docs … I may have missed this … but I cannot find where the CMS specifically references the smtp server to be used to send mail … can you point a dilligent but short sighted enthusiast?

It doesn’t. It uses the default mail settings as specified in php.ini (which, by default, is the SMTP server on the same machine). You can override the default by editing php.ini as appropriate.

there is no specific smtp setting in php.ini except for win32 (smtp=localhost) . I am sure it is a firewall issue …thanks
Here is some info on the php.ini settings available to change the Mail() behaviour:
http://au3.php.net/mail
Though, I have added a http://au3.php.net/mail to be able to configure the SMTP server used to send mail as this is a nifty idea.
