Hey everyone

I just installed a new copy of Drupal and so far so good, sorted out clean URL's and got cron jobs on my list to-do but one thing drupal couldn't do was send me an e-mail with some information.

This is fine BUT I would like to be able to send e-mails for one part of my site (which is quite unessential at the moment). I now on my hosted site an MTA is all set up and ready to go but on my local machine it isn't and it seems like quite a hassle to get working. So I was wondering if there was anyway of getting drupal to just direct e-mails to a file / files on my local machine?

Or just something else that might just work in similar way.

Any help would be great.

Cheers,
Matt

I use, and would recommend, the SMTP Authentication Support module.
This allows you to bypass Drupal's default PHPMail setup and send email directly via an SMTP server.

It 'supports SMTP authentication and can even connect to servers using SSL if supported by PHP' (like GMail).
