Emails sent from Actinic

[acompton]

After some server outage, I found I couldn't send emails from Actinic, although I could from Outlook. The error Actinic was:

{Customers email address}INET_aton failed - host not found
smtp.greenknightgames.co.uk - unkown error

I searched the forum and found this thread from 2003 (contains a couple of familiar faces)
http://community.actinic.com/showthr...=&threadid=123

A full site refresh fixed the problem, but left me with the question: how does Actinic (the application) send emails? I had assumed it went straight to the specified SMTP server. Why shouls it need a site refresh to sort it out?

The Actinic application on the PC transfers the emails up to the scripts on the server and sends them via SMTP from there.

Obvious, really.
