Hi i have the following issue, using DNN 04.09.00 and having my SMTP setting configuered as below

SMTP Server and port: mail.mysite.com
SMTP Authentication:basic
SMTP Enable SSL: no
SMTP Username: username
SMTP Password: password

tried with several other servers, same issue... test mails are sent successfully though.

the emails either dont go through at all or come late, the SMTP server/login/password is correct 100% but when i use contact form emails come in about 20% of the time... what may be the problem here?



Thanks for any ideas...

A few of points to verify:

1. You'll need to make sure the username is in email format (i.e. myuser@mydomain.com)

2. The password is correct and the user actually exists in smartermail.

3. Your domain name resolves to us and the mail server is correctly pointing to us.

4. Basic Authentication should be selected.

Hey thanks for the info, my domains are however hosted elsewhere, does this have to do with how my SMTP settings work? I dont mind changing them as long as it solves the issue...

Yes it should work once the domain points to us. Currently your trying to relay email through wherever the domain is currently pointing which may not work
