OpenCart Community

I'm developing an opencart store on my unmanaged vps server. I can't seem to find any documentation on the dependencies for opencart's email functionality. Can anyone provide information? I would be happy with a short answer as to where i should start, ie "it needs postfix," although I'm relying heavily on documentation so a more in-depth guide would be welcome. Does this usually work out of the box? I can't properly test the software until this works...

Hi petetravis,

In system/library/mail/ you can see it is using the PHP "mail" function which uses sendmail.
So if you want to use postfix it would be good to develop a wrapper to use mail or smtp (not implemented yet)
I have to use smtp as well so I think it would be nice to have it... or I should develop it?

I hope this solve your question.
