7.4.6.1 emailmethod 

This specifies which of the several supported mail methods, or the two test 

modes, is used. The four methods currently supported are: `CDO' (Microsoft 

standard), `Jmail' (

www.dimac.net

), `ASPmail' (

www.serverobjects.com

) and 

`Persits' (

www.persits.com

). The two test modes are `write', which disables 

mail sending and writes the email to the screen instead, and `off' which simply 

disables mail sending altogether. When developing sites on a local machine or 

network, the test modes allow you to simulate formulating and sending mail 

without having to install mail components or wait for mail to be sent and 

received in order to check it is formatted correctly. 

7.4.6.2 mailserver 

This is the address of the outgoing SMTP mail server. It might be an IP 

address or in the form of 

smtp.cactusoft.com

. CDO does not require a value 

for this setting (since it is configured at the server), but the third party 

components do. Virtually all hosts using a component will have an SMTP 

server on their network that is set not to require authentication for requests 

coming from the web server IP. For this reason, CactuShop does not include 

code for authentication when sending via an SMTP server. 

7.4.6.3 newsletterfromemail 

Email address the newsletter should appear to be from. 

7.4.6.4 newsletterfromname 

Person/name the newsletter emails should appear to be from. 

7.4.6.5 senderroremail 

y/n   whether to send an email to the store owner when an error on the site 

occurs. 

7.4.6.6 sendorderupdateemail 

y/n   whether to offer the cardholder the option to receive email updates 

when their order is updated (this can be overridden on the modify orders 

page, 6.10.1).
