Hi,
I've installed OSSN and i was surprised that the email notifications wasn't sent after a registrer (i have an error message). My address email typed at the subscription was the good one (i checked)
After a little search, i discovered that my host hadn't any function mail()
He use of the php function email()
I would like to know if ossn it made to work with a email() function. If not, can I change it myself ? In this case, where to change it ?
Thanks a lot
Guy

No, you don't have to start from scratch. Simply do yourself a favor a read the Ossn documentation.
> See https://www.opensource-socialnetwork.org/wiki/all
Frequently asked questions are answered there, in your case the last topic on page 1
"How to move Ossn installation to another server and domain"

Install the SMTP component and configure it to establish a working mail channel by entering the same credentials you would normally use for sending mails with Mozilla Thunderbird, MS-Outlook, or any other mail client. In doubt ask your provider for the necessary details.
The component is available here:
https://github.com/opensource-socialnetwork/SMTP
In case your provider doesn't even allow SMTP connections, we cannot help you, and you should better change to someone offering World standard services.
Due to the many requests in the past for additonal features and components we have decided to develope a premium version. Features like Hashtags, Videos, Polls, Events, Stories, Link Preview, etc included in it.
