how does one configure email sending?

[jf]

I just tried to create a new account... and I get a ECONNREFUSED for localhost port 25:

How do I configure the settings for the MTA that Rodauth will pass the email over to?

You need to configure the Mail gem with a valid delivery method.

Mail.defaults do
  delivery_method :smtp, ...
end

got it. Thank you!

one question about the way Mail is set up in rodauth_demo.rb: is there any reason why it's ::Mail.defaults instead of Mail.defaults (at

rodauth/demo-site/rodauth_demo.rb

Line 28 in 747122e

::Mail.defaults do

)?

If I do a test with ::Mail.__id__ == Mail.__id__, it's true, so it's not as if there is another Mail in scope that could be called by mistake.

Or is this just to be explicit?

It's to be explicit. Using Mail makes it appear you are referring to RodauthDemo::App::Mail or Roda::Mail (and would break if either were defined separately).
