Hello every one. I am slowly getting acquantied as to how to use Friendica. It is coming back

I was able to add my next user in the Moderation section, @Tobias .

Then, after created, there wa sno way that I could see, to create a password. Is there a way?

Otherwise, Isuppose I need to reset the password by trying to lgo in right?

Then, that brings be to my next step. I need ot set up the email server. Can friendica send email out of the box? Or, need configuration?

Thanks

Joseph

I have a mail server on another local VM that I want to use. How can I tell Friendica to use my local server?

Once set up, I can get the welcome emails to get sent out.

Thanks!

Without knowing anything at all about your setup: Be very careful when using a local server as an outgoing mailserver.

Both Microsoft and Google are extremely picky when it comes to receiving mails from servers that are unknown to them, and they will routinely throw your emails into the unwanted mail folder if your server does not satisfy their requirements (DMARC, SPF, MX, whatnot).

If you have access to a relay server at Google or similar, using that would definitely be a better way.

Yes, I know - but principles are really not worth much if your new users never get their welcome emails...
