E-Mail Server¶
The configuration of the e-mail server is necessary if a user has forgotten the login password and wants to reset it. When resetting the password, an e-mail is sent to the user's deposited e-mail address.
You can modify the mail server settings in file bbp.properties stored in directory
<BBP Installation>/WEB-INF/classes. The following parameters have to be adjusted.
