How do you change the default Mail sending to SMTP?

[codek]

Hi,

When you create a user it defaults to sendmail for sending mail.

I need it to default to SMTP. Can i also update all user accounts to use SMTP in one go?

Thanks!

Hi Dan

you can add the following array definition to the file custom/include/language/en_us.lang.php.

If the file/directory does not exist, create it.

 $app_list_strings['notifymail_sendtype'] = array (
    'SMTP' => 'SMTP',
    'sendmail' => 'sendmail',
); 
  

This changes only the order of the two entries. But I couldn't change the order using the Dropdown Editor.

It is not possible to update all user accounts to use SMTP with a SQL statement, because the value is stored in the preference field together with other preferences.
