So i ran into this thread looking to setup gmail as my SMTP server; so is the
Amibroker function useless?
The other option i suppose is to install a SMTP server on my machine but that
comes with the heavy baggage of having to maintain and secure an IIS server;
which i do not want to signup for.
What are folks using to setup email alerts from Amibroker?
