Hello,

I dont know if my last post went through. I am not receiving new post notifications via email. I am receiving new user notfications and was able to send a test email through my host settings SMTP.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Brad

Thank you for your reply!

I checked and everything seems good, like I said  I AM receiving new user registration email notifications and was also able to send a test email through my host account via the SMTP.

I just looked and now the option to receive email notifications when a new thread is posted to is not available.........

I had the same problem (DNN 4.05.03).  Here is a less than optimal, quick and dirty fix which should work until the new forums are released.

In ForumUtils.vb

Public Shared Function SendPMMail...

'If Not Len(_portalSettings.HostSettings("SMTPServer")) = 0 Then
                '    SmtpMail.SmtpServer = CType(_portalSettings.HostSettings("SMTPServer"), String)
                'End If

                forumMail.To = PMRecipientUser.Email
                'SmtpMail.Send(forumMail)

                Dim smtpServer As String = Convert.ToString(_portalSettings.HostSettings("SMTPServer"))
                Dim smtpAuthentication As String = Convert.ToString(_portalSettings.HostSettings("SMTPAuthentication"))
                Dim smtpUserName As String = Convert.ToString(_portalSettings.HostSettings("SMTPUsername"))
                Dim smtpUserPassword As String = Convert.ToString(_portalSettings.HostSettings("SMTPPassword"))
                'Dim nfo As UserInfo = UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo()
                'forumMail.To = nfo.Email

                DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.Mail.SendMail(forumMail.From, "noreply@YourCompany.com", forumMail.Bcc, forumMail.Subject, _
                            forumMail.Body, "", forumMail.BodyFormat.ToString(), smtpServer, smtpAuthentication, _
                            smtpUserName, smtpUserPassword)

Public Shared Function SendForumMail...

'If Not Len(_portalSettings.HostSettings("SMTPServer")) = 0 Then
            '    SmtpMail.SmtpServer = CType(_portalSettings.HostSettings("SMTPServer"), String)
            'End If

            Dim distributionlist As Object
            For Each distributionlist In forumMail.DistributionLists
                Dim strDistribution As String = CType(distributionlist, String)
                forumMail.Bcc = strDistribution
                Try
                    'CP - COMEBACK - Change to per user email preferences
                    forumMail.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8
                    'SmtpMail.Send(forumMail)

                    Dim smtpServer As String = Convert.ToString(_portalSettings.HostSettings("SMTPServer"))
                    Dim smtpAuthentication As String = Convert.ToString(_portalSettings.HostSettings("SMTPAuthentication"))
                    Dim smtpUserName As String = Convert.ToString(_portalSettings.HostSettings("SMTPUsername"))
                    Dim smtpUserPassword As String = Convert.ToString(_portalSettings.HostSettings("SMTPPassword"))
                    Dim nfo As UserInfo = UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo()
                    forumMail.To = nfo.Email

                    DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.Mail.SendMail(forumMail.From, forumMail.To, forumMail.Bcc, forumMail.Subject, _
                        forumMail.Body, "", forumMail.BodyFormat.ToString(), _
                        smtpServer, smtpAuthentication, smtpUserName, smtpUserPassword)

                Catch exc As System.Exception
                    LogException(exc)
                End Try
            Next

This hack may help for for the interim.
