Hi Paul,

I'm CC'ing you on this email but can you make sure you subscribe to the

> #MAIL_PASSWORD="dandsd4ggS"
> MAIL_PRETEND=false

This code is handled by Zend Framework v1 and while auth options are
offered, I've never known it to work with that library.

The options are available in v4 as we'll eventually migrate that code to
Laravel (which uses SwiftMailer) and auth will work fine. In the interim
you'll need a mail relay server that will accept mail for relay based on
your IP address.

Most IXPs as far as I have seen have a local mail relay (needed for all
manner of things such as cron emails, etc). I appreciate you're testing
in a VM however so you'll need to find some work around :-(
