Hi,

Our company is using Microsoft Office 365 email and we also hosting our own DotNetNuke website on a dedicated server that is running Windows 2008 and IIS7 (6 for FTP and SMTP).

Can someone please show me how to setup our SMTP on the DNN so that our DNN site can work with Office 365? We have a contact form on the site, at this moment if the sender of the form has an email that matches our domain like sender@mydomain.com then the email will go to contact@mydomain.com without any problem. But if I put  sender as sender@yahoo.com, then no email goes to contact@mydomain.com

I think it has to do with relay but I do not know how to set it up

Thanks

Michael,

you can set up the SMTP settings under Host::Host Settings::Advanced Settings::SMTP Server Settings.But it seems that you already have done that.

The problem that you describe is not a problem of DNN, but of your SMTP server, that obviously does not accept mail sent from within your domain with a sender address from outside your domain. Therefore you have to cerrect these settings on your SMTP server - e.g. by relaying the web server.

Best wishes
Michael

I am using Microsoft Office 365 as our email system. By reading document from Microsoft like this one http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2600912

It says "If your LOB applications send mail from email addresses that differ from the Office 365 mailbox that's used for authentication, you have to either use a mail-enabled security group or add proxy addresses to support multiple email addresses."

So that means my Contact Form sending from my site can't be use Sender as my site visitor. It has to be the email address that I use to authenticate with Office 365.

This is weird.

Michael,

I don't know the SMTP functionality of Office 365, but if this is correct it seems to be quite limited. Normally you can add a relay to the SMTP server, and then you can send with whatever sender address.

If this is not possible (what I hardly believe), I would suggest to use another mail server. Of course, MS Exchange is a bit expensive and has a lot of features you normally don't need. Have a look at hMailServer, it's free, runs on Windows, uses .Net, has integrated spam and virus protection features and supports the common protocols (POP3, IMAP, SMTP).

Best wishes
Michael
