! SMTP
To configure Tiki to use SMTP instead of Sendmail (which is on the server)

Some web hosts prevent sending email from the web server. Ex.: to prevent SPAM. In this case, you must indicate the "real" email address used to send email. If you are behind the firewall, you can typically just indicate the server (no login required)

# Visit tiki-admin.php?page=general
# Select SMTP in the mail section.
# Enter the information about your email account
