Every time I create a new user or assign a task to a user PO prompts to send mail to the user.How to integrate our mail into PO?
We use Google Apps for our mailing solution.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
What exactly do you refer to with "integration"?
]po[ will send out mail the email address of the new user thanks to the built-in (VMware version) SMTP agent. That should work find with Google Apps…
Cheers!

I had the same problems configuring mail and it turned out it's really not a problem, mainly characteristics of the system. In short (I hope) ]po[ uses a configured SMTP server or the Linux Sendmail program. I have no knowledge on how to configure sendmail, but I have successfully configured SMTP on two servers.
The /web/projop/etc/config.tcl configuration file (Windows: C:\project-open\servers\projop\etc\config.tcl) contains a "mailhost" parameter which is by default set to localhost (127.0.0.1), assuming that the server running ]po[ is also running a SMTP (mail) server. Otherwise, set it to the server where the SMTP server is installed.
1) What I did was to install an smtp program(http://www.hmailserver.com/). In the PO, I configured mailhost as localchost and within hmail I did a Relay of the smtp to my hosted mail using a valid account on the hosted mail. SO, PO send en email to localhost then hmail connects to my mail server and voila.
2) hmail is quite intuitive. before using it I had zero knowledge on how to even beging with an STMP server. I had it running in no time, using the provided help, so it should be ok for many to configure.
So far, it is not clear how to configure ]oppo[)
SETTING UP ACS-MAIL-LITE
ACS mail lite is used for notification, calendars (and in the future for all E-mail messaging). To configure it:
1) Go to the Parameters setup page, package acs-mail-lite
2) BounceDomain: set to yourdomain.something
3) NotificationSender: the name of ]po[ admin? (intranetadmin@yourdomain.something)
4) SendmailBin: SMTP (to enable SMTP mail send)
That should do it. I get all notifications that uses the old MAIL and the new ACS-MAIL-LITE (according to ]po[ team this will become the future way to handle e-mail).
Hope it helps…

Hi Frank,
My SMTP server needs authnetication credentials. The built in mailing proxy does not seem to have an option to route a request with login credentials.
Please help.

Hello, Everyone!
I am a newbie with PO and have similar problem with configuration of mailing system. I am running PO under windows and have a windows based SMTP with autentification.
How i can setup my system?
Thank You very much in advance!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Sorry, ]po[ won't be able to provide authentication towards an SMTP server easily…
However, you shouldn't need this if you are running ]po[ on the same server as the SMTP agent.
You can usually configure the SMTP to accept local connections without auth.
Cheers!

Here's how I'm using our Exchange server:
I have an "smtp virtual server" running on an Exchange server on the intranet, a different machine than the proj-open server. I specified the IP of this server in the \servers\projop\etc\config.tcl file.
I then allowed anonymous authentication for the smtp virtual server, but limited "connection control" and "relay restrictions" to the IP of the proj-open server (and of course itself).
That's it!

Did you set up a mail server as explained above?
Please make sure you've got at least on person in your team with a System Administrator profile. This guy will probably be able to setup the mail system easily.
Cheers!

Well frank
i´m the System Administrator… I have been using project-open from few days. It is interesting and has goodfeatures. But few things I am not able to implement. like the mail, and update the currency values …. you know frank i´m from colombia and i really having a hard time trying to understand everything in the documentation pages.. so i only need to be guided in the learning process because I really think that ]po[ is perfect for my work and my day to day
Hoping for the best

Hi Frank,
Am having the same problems.
Is the mail integration automatic or do i need to configure my mail server to accept mails from ]po[ ?
cheers

In short (I hope) ]po[ uses a configured SMTP server or the Linux Sendmail program. I have no knowledge on how to configure sendmail, but I have successfully configured SMTP on two servers.
The basic steps are the following and please notice that the solution is largely based on indications from amendina (many thanks, BTW) of 2010-03-24 in this forum's topic https://sourceforge.net/projects/project-open/forums/forum/295937/topic/3533752

Also don't forget to set SendmailBin = smtp in the parameters for acs-mail-lite
