Using Gmail as your mail server

Gmail allows you to use POP3 to access your mail account. This means you can use any Gmail account to send page change notifications to subscribed wiki users.

Configuring your wiki

Just edit your wikiconfig.py :

 # Mail

    # Configure to enable subscribing to pages (disabled by default)
    # or sending forgotten passwords.

    # SMTP server, e.g. "mail.provider.com" (empty or None to disable mail)
    mail_smarthost = "smtp.gmail.com"

    # The return address, e.g "My Wiki <noreply@mywiki.org>"
    mail_from = "The Name you want <gmailusername@gmail.com>"

    mail_login = "gmailusername gmailpassword"

What does it mean when I get error:

• (530, '5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first n38sm10537425wag', u'Gnarlodious.com <username@gmail.com>')

Maybe the mail_login line needs to be uncommented. Just a guess. -- Gnarlodious 2007-10-01 00:57:27

-- Yes... that would help, example fixed.
