Why won't e-mail alerts work?

Why won't e-mail alerts work?

You have to set your alertServer to a local SMTP server. If you have done this try (in Squeak)
You can paste the script in a transcript window -> select 'open..' followed by 'transscript'. Select all the code and select 'do it'.

SMTPSocket
   deliverMailFrom: 'your@email.addres.edu'
   to: #(#'your@email.addres.edu' )
   text: 'From: test
To: "not listed"
Subject: this is a test

Hello from Squeak!
'
   usingServer: 'yourSMTPserver'

If you get the message, it should work. If not, something is weird with your SMTP server. If it still does not work, it may be a bug. Please report it to pws@cc.gatech.edu.

Also, make sure that you followed the instructions in the AdminTool about setting up the refs package to have useful alertServer and alertSender fields.

There is actually a patch for this problem, check the Swiki buglist !
