[Moodle] setting up SMTP stuff

[Laurie Savage]

I have set up Moodle to use email authentication because LDAP hasn't been
set up on our network. In the authentication settings I only allow addresses
from the ourcollege.vic.edu.au domain. That way the students' mail accounts
must be legitimate for them to respond to Moodle's confirmation email.

Subject: [Moodle] setting up SMTP stuff

 

Hi all...

I am so excited, others in the leadership team are wanting to really get
stuck into Moodle, as are the ground troops. My awesome tech has set up
Moodle, we are now getting to the trialling stuff on it

Before I open it  totally to staff I want to make sure everything is running
as smoothly as possible. 

My tech has set it up so that the network login is the same as the moodle
login, and when they login the first time they need to put in their account
info.

Just a question for those who are using the ISP with "my desktop", "my
classes" etc (I have just gone blank) 

David (my Tech) is not sure which is the most appropriate email to go with
the ISP one or edumail.

I am thinking ISP, but not entirely sure how to do that.

I am assuming it will be in the Admin section SERVER -> EMAIL -> then all
the SMTP settings.

 

My last version of Moodle was 1.6 and I am now on the latest version, so I
have a steep learning curve too, but having fun, although I need more time
at school.....;)

 

Thoughts ideas?

Thanks heaps 

Suz

 

PS from the Moodle Moot I remember someone with my desktop/myclasses stuff
as a tab? On the opening pages. Can someone refresh how this was done....and
if I have the skills to do it?
