Hi,

I've just set up a debian 8 box to host a SMF forum.

My question is:
Do I need to install a mail server (postfix, sendmail, etc) in this debian box in order to send the activation account emails?

Or should I just type in the smtp server, port, username and password (in the admin registration mail settings)?

I have an email from Zoho.com that I could use

Linkjay

If you want to use PHP mailing, install Sendmail.

If you want to use SMTP, use an SMTP server.
I play games in my free time and volunteer my knowledge and support to the gaming communities of the internet.
