There no clear documentation on how to set the mail host for KARL. I asked the same in #karl in IRC.
chrisrossi was very kind to answer it.
sowmya:Hi, I just installed KARL [1:20pm]sowmya:Now I want to know where do I setup the smtp for the project? [2:10pm]

[4:41pm]mahiti:how do we configure the smtp settings of a new karl instance [
[6:56pm]chrisrossi:sowmya: mahiti: Karl delivers mail to a queue that is a folder in Maildir format on your local filesystem. [6:57pm]chrisrossi:so Karl, the webapp, doesn't interact directly with an smtp server. [6:57pm]chrisrossi:In order to send the mail out you need to invoke the bin/qp script [6:57pm]chrisrossi:bin/qp --help will print the arguments you can provide, including smtp host information. [6:57pm]chrisrossi:we invoke this once a minute or so via cron. [6:58pm]chrisrossi:There is also a daemon mode that we're not currently using that you could experiment with [6:58pm]mahiti:oh, interesting and valuable inputs [6:58pm]mahiti:is this documented anywhere? [
[7:10pm]mahiti:there seem to be no such folder created... [7:10pm]mahiti:will it get created in the /var? [7:11pm]
chrisrossi:The folder is specified in karl.ini as 'mail_queue_path'. [7:12pm]chrisrossi:by default, in karlsample, that is var/mail_queue
So check the karl.ini under etc folder checking the folder where the tmp folder is created for mail.
Also set the admin's email address for site's administartion. it roughly in line no 17.
min_pw_length = 8
#admin_email = ????
