Revision history [back]
One thing I definitely recommend - consider using a commercial email delivery service. Spammers made the email server administrators to tighten the criteria of acceptance for the messages, therefore it becomes quite challenging to set up your own mail that will get your email to the users inboxes.
On the separate note - there isn't anything special in setting up sending of the email in Askbot - best answers can be found in the sources created for the Django framework.
