I tried it, sent email to myself. Never received it. I typed everything correct except I replaced the email with my own email orionblastar@gmail.com there was no error messages as well. Do I have to install things like sendmail to make it work? If so that needs to be in the documentation. Yes I did the meteor add email part, I followed every step.

Hello, It looks like you haven't actually deployed the code. Once deployed a free Mailgun account is created for you behind the scenes and assigned to your app. To test locally you need to create a Mailgun account and follow instructions from the "Extra optional step" section. BR, Sergey

That is because I don't have a web site to deploy to yet. I wanted to test it on my Ubuntu box on Apache first before deploying. Why do I have to create an account on some other web site just so I can send email on my local Ubuntu machine?

Heh the least they could do is put that into a batch file to be downloaded and clicked on to run. Chocolatey is sort of like an alternative apt-get for Windows, except that it doesn't need s sudo command and your password to install software. It uses cinst to install stuff: cinst firefox Installs Firefox. The UAC asks the current user to allow the setup program to run and that is about it. No password needed to insta…

Right, because UAC assumes someone who is logged in as an admin is supposed to be. I configure sudo like this on some of my dev machines, easier and I don't care about them (usually just VMs). Why not just restrict the execution policy? I don't really know PS thta well, but doesn't that stop arbitrary (or any) scripts?

You are revealing the security flaws of Windows. Cancel or Allow?
