Rob,

Currently I'm on DNN 7.4.2 and the SMTP server problems persist even though I applied Sebastian's TurboScript.

What I can reccomend to you when it comes to configuration of your settings I would set/check the DNS zones including the SPF record.

I'm also being hosted at Arvixe and in a blog of theirs they reccomend the SPF setting ("including mailchannels.com") applied especially when in shared hosting. In my case the SPF setting was fruitless.

My experience tells me that newer DNN version doesn't always mean correction of the past errors but also introduction of new ones.

Rob,

If you're reading this just go to https://dnntracker.atlassian.net/brow... as you will probably find there the solution to your problem.

In the last post of mine there you'll see the discovery and the procedure to fix the SMTP problem I have and - probably - you have experienced.

This procedure involves changing the SMTPMode row value to "h" in Portal Settings table and adding the SMTPMode row with the same value ("h") to Host Setting table of the DNN database.

From the moment I implemented the settings change all my e-mails go out to users flawlessly.

Of course I'm talking of my own DNN install which version currently is 7.4.2.
