I’m experimenting with Authlogic’s activation tutorial, and in it you add some code that enables the user to get an email when they create a new account (containing a link to activate their account). I’m currently working locally, in a test environment. Should I expect these emails to actually be sent somehow? If not, then is there a way to get them to send? They don’t work right now at all, which is sort of what I expect. I didn’t configure any SMTP servers or anything. ---
