Configing Mail

[socool]

Hi, How can I use my Hotmail e-mail account as the board e-mail notifier account.

E.G. When someone sent you a private message, the board uses this e-mail to send a notification to you.,etc.

Thanks

To put it in a nutshell, you can't!

Your Hotmail account isn't under the control of your web server and, if you could do that, you could commandeer *anyone's* email account to do the same job...

Just set it as the webmaster's e-mail address and choose to use sendmail.  E-mails arn't actually sent from the address you specify, just made to look like it.

Hmmm... of course you're right, David!

But at least my answer is still technically true...
