Questions with setting up aurweb instance

[Hunter Wittenborn]

Just reporting back on the issues I had:

The SMTP issue was due to my VPS provider blocking the standard email 
ports (25, 465, 587). They let me get them unblocked through contacting 
them though, and I imagine it'll work just fine after.

Then I just need to get the TU stuff set up, but that shouldn't be too 
hard (hopefully).

Again, thanks!
