comments email notifications on cloud server

[Frank Vèssia]

I'm running a blog on a Bitnami server which doesn't have email support.
I'm using wireMailSmtp module with Amazon s3 for all the emails sent via Api but what about built in comments?
Email notifications to admin and users don't work...any idea how to allow comments using smtp service?

maybe some hooks?

Take a look at CommentNotifications::sendAdminNotificationEmail(). This method is hookable. But from my understandings it is already using WireMail which should use wireMailSmtp internally. I've never used a custom email module thought, so I could be wrong.

I'm not using comments, but I would look here: https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ProcessWire/blob/master/wire/modules/Fieldtype/FieldtypeComments/CommentNotifications.php 

But it seems they are already using wireMail, so they should be sent by the smtp module.

mmm...yes I can see the module is using wireMail()...so the problem is somewhere else...thanks guys for the tips.

Can be something related to the render function which I'm using for display the comments and the form?
In fact I've noticed differences between the default function

<?php echo $page->comments->renderAll(); ?>

and the "manual" functions with custom parameters that I'm using

<?php 
echo $page->comments->renderForm(array(
       'headline' => "<h3><i class='cki-meatknife'></i> Commenta questa ricetta</h3>",
       'successMessage' => "<div class='alert alert-success'>Grazie per aver commentato la ricetta.</div>",
       'errorMessage' => "<div class='alert alert-danger'>Ci sono stati degli errori, riprova a scrivere il commento</div>",
       'processInput' => true,
       'encoding' => 'UTF-8',
            'attrs' => array(
                   'id' => 'CommentForm',
                   'action' => './',
                   'method' => 'post',
                   'class' => '',
                   'rows' => 4,
                   'cols' => 50,
             ),
             'labels' => array(
                 'cite' => 'Nome',
                 'email' => 'Email',
                 'text' => 'Commento',
                 'submit' => 'Pubblica',
             ),
));

echo $page->comments->render(array(
        'headline' => '<h3>Tutti i commenti</h3>',
        'commentHeader' => '{cite} <small>ha scritto il {created}</small>',
        'dateFormat' => '%d %B %Y alle %H:%I',
        'encoding' => 'UTF-8',
        'useVotes' => 1,
        'admin' => false, // shows unapproved comments if true
));?>

The second method  doesn't display votes for example, and ignore the datetime format set for the field, so "maybe" also skip the notifications? It's like these methods are not using the new comments system...just guessing..
