    Maybe I’m just missing it, is there some way to configure site email to use an external smtp server using smtp auth? All I’ve found in system settings is a place to configure the email messages and ’from’ address. I need to use an existing email server for outbound mail.

      Doesn’t seem to be at the mo, revo uses PHPmailer as its mail client so you could just edit this file ’\core\model\modx\mail\phpmailer\class.phpmailer.php’ for now to set it up as an SMTP client, ie change ’var $Mailer = ’mail’;’ to ’var $Mailer = ’smtp’; and setup the smtp vars further down to your requirements.
        Use MODx, or the cat gets it!

        Could you file this in JIRA so that we get to it before RC1?

          Is my forum login supposed to work for JIRA? It doesn’t seem to.

            No, you’ll need to register there. Our forums are separate currently from our JIRA/Confluence/modxcms.com SSO system.
