Changing the SMTP Server

Hi. I would like to know how to change the SMTP server that PHP nuke uses to send mail from "localhost" to whatever my SMTP server is. For one reason or another my winmail server has gone haywire and I would like to know how to get PHP nuke to forward any emails directly to my domain name SMTP relay server.

Thanks a bunch.

Actually, I believe that will only affect the mailers that come from the phpBB side of things, such as Private Messages and Forums. Is that the emails you are referring to? I didn't think so. You may have to configure this at the PHP level to get it to use a different server type, IP, port and connection info.... I'd start with the PHP installation docs.
