Of course  know that “OpenCms does not come with its own mailserver”.
The situation in my case is as follows:
 
-          I have Opencms installed on a “machine” running the Microsoft
IIS 5.0 web server;
-          This machine has a SMTP service running on it, therefore it
should be able to “send” e-mail messages (is this correct?), e.g.  using
information provided by Opencms, according to your
-          What I can’t figure out it what info should be put in the
lines 
 
<mail> 
 
<mailfrom>nobody at nowhere.com</mailfrom>
                                   <mailhost name="my.smtp.server"
protocol="smtp" user="username" password="secure"/>
                                   <mailhost
name="alternative.smtp.server"/>
                                   <mailhost
name="another.alternative.smtp.server"/>
</mail>
 
          in place of  :   “nobody at nowhere.com”  and  "my.smtp.server" .
I tried to use various valid e-mail accounts, unsuccessfully.
 
Did you succeed  to send e-mail using Opencms? If so, can you “describe”
your settings, (of course  don’t need to know the actual settings!). It
would help me to know if you actually experienced the e-mail sending
from Opencms, or if you are rather arguing theoretical  behavior.
 
Hope some day I will send a message from Opencms !
 
 
Specifically to Andreas Zahner:
 
I see that you are the author of “CmsHtmlMail.java” class: I think you
can add very helpful comments to the ongoing discussion I rose on the
subject.
 
Thank you very much for any help you would offer.
 
Domenico
