During the last weekend we implemented a change in LimeService to enable email sending without the need to have your own SMTP server.

How does it work?

By default email sending using the LimeService server is enabled now if you are not using SMTP. You can toggle between SMTP and LimeService email sending in the global settings dialog. When you send emails using the LimeService server the email will use 'noreply (at) limeservice.com' as sender address but it will also have your email address set as 'reply-to' header. That means if someone wants to reply to your email that person will reply to you.
