This appears to be fixed in the trunk (but it wouldn't hurt to say None in the 
book).

[web2py] Re: Sending email with localhost / Postfix

2012-05-26 Thread Yarin 
Got this working on the CentOS server as follows:

mail.settings.server = 'localhost:25'
mail.settings.sender = 'y...@mail.com'
mail.settings.login = None


Massimo, please note the book says "Set mail.settings.login=False if the 
SMTP server does not require authentication." 
This was failing for me- It only worked when 
mail.settings.login = None

[web2py] Re: Sending email with localhost / Postfix

2012-05-26 Thread Massimo Di Pierro 
Something is wrong with postfilx configuration. Use a python shell and try 
the smtplib library directly. I use postfix all the time and nothing has 
change in those parts of web2py.
