Drupal – Ubercart and SMTP Authentication Support

Finally i could use the Go Daddy email account as relay using the SMTP Authentication Support module in Drupal. I can send the testing email but it doesn’t work for those email triggered by the Ubercart module. This is because Ubercart has it own mail system so you have to tweak the setting such that it use the SMTP module to send email. This can be done by the Mail System module.

1. Download and install the Mail System module.

2. Go to the setting page @ admin/config/system/mailsystem.

Postfix – Relay via Gmail

In the past, i just kept looking for the blog posts in Google and found that people have different ways to setup Sendmail, but not all of them could be repeated successfully in my setup. After so many trials and errors, i made the relay works but i couldn’t fully understand what’s going on in the setup.

So this time, no more Sendmail, i would like to use Postfix instead. Continue reading Postfix – Relay via Gmail
