If you are hosted on a standard Joyent Accelerator (e.g., if you have an Accelerator ID of 'z12345AA'), many of the features described here will be missing or will look different. You should refer to the Joyent Accelerators Knowledge Base instead.

You can send email from your Accelerator using sendmail (/usr/local/bin/sendmail) or by connecting to the SMTP server on 127.0.0.1:25. You are restricted to sending email to 500 recipients per hour. You are not able to receive any email with the out-of-box configuration, though all of the parts are there (postfix, courier) for you to configure on your own if you so desire.
