Hi Guys,

Need some help regarding the DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.Mail.SendMail method. When i try to use this method it is not working. I already have configured the smtp server and the corresponding authentication in the host settings page of DNN and i have been given the message "Email sent succesfully" when i try to click the test button in the host settings page. What seems to be the problem? Any solution. Btw, as an added information, the smtp server i indicated is the ip address of the computer and the authentication that i chose is anonymous. Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply.

Here is the code i use for the method call:

try

string smtpServer = Convert.ToString(DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.HostSettings["SMTPServer"]);string smtpAuthentication = Convert.ToString(DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.HostSettings["SMTPAuthentication"]);string smtpUsername = Convert.ToString(DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.HostSettings["SMTPUsername"]);string smtpPassword = Convert.ToString(DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.HostSettings["SMTPPassword"]);string xResult = DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.Mail.SendMail("from@yahoo.com", "to@yahoo.com", "", "", DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.MailPriority.Normal, "This is the Subject!", DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.MailFormat.Text, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, "This is the Body", "", smtpServer, smtpAuthentication, smtpUsername, smtpPassword);catch(Exception ex)throw ex;

And also, there are no error messages nor exceptions that i have encountered during debugging of this code. i think it just did not sent out any email at all.

Thanks,

JR

Hi Chris,

I've already tried using this kind of method where you just pass empty string into the smtp server, authentication, username and password but unfortunately it is not working.

And also, may i ask? where can i possibly find the smtp folders that you are talking about? is it in the dotnetnuke folder of my current installation or in iis?

Thanks,

JR
