148 148 Noosfero needs a functional e-mail setup to work: the local mail system should
149 149 be able to deliver e-mail to the internet, either directly or through an
150   -external SMTP server.
151   -
152   -If you know mail systems well, you just need to make sure thet the local MTA,
153   -listening on localhost:25, is able to deliver e-mails to the internet. Any mail
154   -server will do it.
155   -
156   -If you are not a mail specialist, we suggest that you use the Postfix mail
157   -server, since it is easy to configure and very reliable. Just follow the
158   -instructions below.
159   -
160   -To install Postfix:
161   -
162   -# apt-get install postfix
163   -
164   -During the installation process, you will be asked a few questions. Your answer
165   -to them will vary in 2 cases:
166   -
167   -Case 1: you can send e-mails directly to the internet. This will be the case
168   -for most commercial private servers. Your answers should be:
169   -
170   - General type of mail configuration: Internet site
171   - System mail name: the name of your domain, e.g. "mysocialnetwork.com"
172   -
173   -Case 2: you cannot, or don't want to, send e-mail directly to the internet.
174   -This happens for example if your server is not allowed to make outbound
175   -connections on port 25, or if you want to concentrate all your outbound mail
176   -through a single SMTP server. Your answers in this case should be:
177   -
178   - General type of mail configuration: Internet with smarthost
179   - System mail name: the name of your domain, e.g. "mysocialnetwork.com"
180   - SMTP relay host: smtp.yourprovider.com
181   -
182   -Note that smtp.yourprovider.com must allow your server to deliver e-mails
183   -through it. You should probably ask your servive provider about this.
184   -
185   -There is another possibility: if you are installing on a shared server, and
186   -don't have permission to configure the local MTA, you can instruct Noosfero to
187   -send e-mails directly through an external server. Please note that this should
188   -be your last option, since contacting an external SMTP server directly may slow
