Sending mail at all?

Hello; just set up a new photo gallery (my first). All went well. It's a long story (chrooted Apache and such), that makes it less than ideal to use sendmail directly. So, I set my SMTP server and username + login for an authenticated account. Only, when I add a comment to a picture, no mail is being sent at all. And nothing in my /var/log/maillog either (or in any queue). And yes, I enabled email notification on comments. I also tried the setting $CONFIG['smtp_host'] in include/mail.inc.php trick. To no avail. I get the impression the gallery is not even trying to send a mail at all. Any SMTP activity I would immediately see in my sendmail log (as I let it connect to my local SMTP server); but no connection attempts are made at all.

I enabled the email notification under "comments" in the config section. Is there any other place this should be enabled? Or does anyone else perhaps know why no mail is being sent?

Thank you!

Make sure you are not testing this while logged in as admin.

Thank you; yes, that was exactly what I did: test it as admin. :) Now everything is shiny again!
