Do you need to have an open email host server for the email feature to work? Is there a way to authenticate first to send emails?

The app uses Spring's JavaMailSenderImpl class to send emails. If your SMTP server requires authentication, this can be specified in applicationContext.xml:

<bean id="mailSender" class="org.openvpms.web.component.service.MailService" singleton="false">
<property name="username" value="someuser"/>
<property name="password" value="somepassword"/> </bean>
