2. Install the system in an environment you feel comfortable testing
in.
3. Proceed to examples/util/Mail_Configuration.php

4. Configuration Init
The init function of PVMail can be used to setup default
configurations for the mail class. Through this tutorial, we
will go over the defaults passed in the init.

5. Default Sender
Normally, the sender has to be applied to the header of an
email before sending an email. Applying a default sender
will ensure that if no sender is set in the header, the email
will be sent from the supplied email address.

6. Mailer
Natively, ProdigyView supports sending mail through php and
smtp. By default using the method PVMail::sendMail will send
an email using the php mail function. But the default can be
changed to send email through SMTP by changing the ‘mailer’
value to smtp.

function
Setting the mailer

7. Default SMTP HOST
If the mailer is set to SMTP, a default SMTP host can be
set here. When PVMail::sendMail or
PVMail::sendEmailSMTP is called, this value will act as
the default host if none is supplied.

8. Default SMTP Username
If the mailer is set to SMTP, a default SMTP username
can be set here. When PVMail::sendMail or
PVMail::sendEmailSMTP is called, this value will act as
the default username if none is supplied.

9. Default SMTP Password
If the mailer is set to SMTP, a default SMTP password can
be set here. When PVMail::sendMail or
PVMail::sendEmailSMTP is called, this value will act as
the default password if none is supplied.

10. Default SMTP Port
If the mailer is set to SMTP, a default SMTP port can be
set here. When PVMail::sendMail or
PVMail::sendEmailSMTP is called, this value will act as
the default port if none is supplied.
