Question

I don't have an SMTP server setup. Can I use gmail for FogBugz to send mail through?

Answer 1

Gmail requires SSL (secure SMTP). As of FogBugz 7, SSL is supported (requires the server understand the STARTTLS command, see this post for more info). To setup gmail as your outgoing (SMTP) server in FogBugz, do the following:

1. Log into FogBugz as a site admin and go to Admin -> Site Configuration -> Mail
2. Next to SMTP Server, choose "Use a different email server"
3. Enter smtp.gmail.com in the box
4. Next to SMTP Port, enter 587
5. Check the box next to SMTP SSL
6. Enter your full gmail or google apps email address in the box next to SMTP User
7. Next to SMTP Password, check the box and enter your gmail or google apps password
8. Click OK
