Attempt: Using SMTP:Error log entry:Attempt: Not using SMTP: Error log entry:I'm not sure if I should be using SMTP or not so tried both ways. When trying to get SMTP working I also tried leaving the SMTP port at 0 as the screen instructions indicate. I don't think it's a firewall issue since telnet, ssh, http, and https all work. I also turned off the firewall for a while. It seems like it should work since telnet works, right?
Should I be focused on using SMTP or no SMTP?
I would appreciate any advice.
Thank-you.
