Question

How do I get CactuShop to send me emails regarding incoming orders? Is the mail server my SMTP address?
What do I use for emailmethod?

Answer

v4 or later:
Your SMTP server address is required unless you are using CDO to send mail. This is the SMTP server as provided by your webhost. Check with them for correct details.

Versions older than v4:
Firstly, the email method in the config file needs to be set to 'CDO', 'Jmail', 'ASPMail' or 'Persits'. Ask your web host which of these their server uses to let ASP scripts send mail.

The SMTP address needs to be entered with all of the above methods except CDO. For CDO, just enter "" as the server address. This SMTP address specifies where the third party mail component should send email from.
