(I believe this conversation can be useful for others, if not please ignore; I'll press the mute button on me now :)) Ok, what you are saying is true. Probably I was not completely clear. I did set it up to use my ISP's mail server as the SMTP server. What I was trying to suggest that if you used caff's $CONFIG{} to send mails via $CONFIG{'mailer-send'} you are not able to test that it works until it's too late. The ISP required that my MTA sends with 'mail name' 'chello.at' as the domain name used to 'qualify' mail addresses. I was able to specify a different sender (i.e. my valid email address) in the /etc/email-addresses file.

I think the trick is that instead of defining $CONFIG{'mailer-send'} in .caffrc you should set up the mail transfer agent first (I have installed mail & exim4).
Actually I think is better to use an external smtp server because if I set up a MTA on my computer, my mails would be probably blocked by yours incoming servers because considered as spam since I have a dynamic IP address. However, it should work with an external smtp server without problems, too.
