Notes

To use the Send an Email module, you will need your own SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server. An SMTP server acts as a proxy agent for the SMTP client that sends and receives SMTP responses to other SMTP servers. Thus, to transmit e-mails, you will need to setup an SMTP server to send out your e-mails from this module.

If you have GMail, you can use GMail's SMTP server by using the settings on this page.

To add multiple e-mail addresses to the To textbox or the CC textbox, you can use commas or semicolons in between e-mail addresses.

Examples

For an example of how to use the e-mail module, you can view our Messaging tutorial and view the Send an Email module section.
