[OSM-Photos] Suggesstion about photos at openstreetview.org

[John McKerrell]

You're now asking me to tell you how to install postfix on ubuntu. I'm afraid I don't know this as I've never done it before. You should be able to manage fine without actually setting up a mail server if you're just using this to test, see the comments I made about how to manually activate a user. If your postfix installation is working though you might be able to place the ActionMailer block of code at the bottom of production.rb (don't replace the whole file!). What you put in it depends on how you've set up postfix but something like the following might work:

> ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
>   :address  => "localhost",
>   :port  => 25,
>   :domain  => 'localhost',
>   :user_name  => "",
>   :password  => '',
>   :authentication  => :login }
>     
See here for more details: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionMailer/Base.html

I think generally when it sends an email on my dev server then the text of the email is output on the server console so you can copy and paste the activation URL from there.
