wxcontact and smtp config
« on: November 28, 2022, 05:39:13 AM »
Hello,
I downloaded and configured wxcontact with recaptcha, but where are the settings for smtp settings? I have to set the parameters or no mail will ever be sent. Right?
Thanks in advance

The script uses the PHP built-in mail() function, so there's no SMTP configuration for the script.  The PHP instance has to be configured to allow outbound mail.  Most (all?) hosting sites have that enabled already.  If you're running your own server then you need to configure PHP itself to connect to your outgoing mail service.

The script only needs your email address to send the email to.
