Setting up Email
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, I am currently in the process of setting up Statusnet on a VM running linux - used for testing purposes.
I have run into a problem when I try register an account, an email notification does not get sent but the account is still created (which is fine with me). However I would really like to get the email setup!
I am completely new to this territory, and would love if someone could tell me what I would need on the VM in order to get the email sending correctly.
Any help greatly appreciated, thank you!

I am using statusnet on an OpenVz VM,much like yours. I am in the middle of an install as well.
I read that statusnet uses the PEAR Mail package, so you should be able to get mail working by either:
1. install PEAR Mail (if its not already)
sudo pear install Mail
-- this looks like the default
2. install sendmail and set:
config['mail']['backend'] = 'sendmail'
3. use and smtp server
config['mail']['backend'] ='smtp'
config['mail']['params'] = check the params at pear [http://pear.php.net/package/Mail/docs ]
Good luck.
Ohm btw if this is completely wrong, let me know.
Stay well
