There is no email functionality on the computer my Drupal site is installed on (not even sendmail). I need to configure Drupal to use SMTP on a remote server (for all outgoing mail functionality). Ideally, I would like to do this via configuring (without any programming). Is this possible? If it is not possible as part of the standard configuration, is there a module that will make Drupal go to a remote SMTP server for all outgoing mail functions that does not require programming?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

You should be able to use a smtp server from your existing host or ISP
Look for this:
SMTP = localhost
Change it to:
SMTP = smtp.yourisp.com

I think that should work, but I haven't tested it because I don't use email for development purposes.

We are running Ubuntu and apparently you cannot do this so easily.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated however.

I found this post on the net.. My Ubuntu box is in pieces right now, so I can't test things at the moment.
