[support] Setting up HTTP server in Ubuntu for Drupal 7

[Joel Willers]

Sounds like you have a setting wrong somewhere in Ubuntu to me. There are many ways to send an email within Drupal. Do any of them work? I'm guessing none do. With no Drupal errors, sounds like you're having a spam filter problem somewhere along the way. Send some emails directly with the SMTP server and see if those go through. I'm guessing those don't, either. Get on Google and see if you can find someone with a similar problem. Time to troubleshoot your SMTP. 

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but my guess is that some setting somewhere is wrong, so reading the documentation would probably solve it for you.

Good luck!

Subject: [support] Setting up HTTP server in Ubuntu for Drupal 7

Hi all, 

I'm quite new to Drupal and started working with Drupal 7.

My development environment is Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit platform

I created an admin user and now i need to let other external users to register in my web site.

When a user tries to register, it asked for the email address, and when submit the message appears as the mail has been sent to the provided address.

But when I checked in the inbox its not there. I have installed SMTP Authentication Support module as well, and its in active state.

I guess Ubuntu comes default with a mail server running in port 25, so in SMTP Authentication Support config page i have given parameters as follows
     SMTP Server : localhost
     SMTP port : 25
     Use encrypted protocol : No

And when i send a test mail, it also says the mail has been sent successfully but it cannot be found in the mail (not in the spam even)


Please help 
Thanks in advance
