I am getting an error setting up my SMTP server under host->hostSettings->advancedSettings->SMTP.

I am getting this error:

Error: Host Settings is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address. ---> System.FormatException: The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address. at System.Net.Mime.MailBnfHelper.ReadMailAddress(String data, Int32& offset, String& displayName) at System.Net.Mail.MailAddress.ParseValue(String address) at System.Net.Mail.MailAddress..ctor(String address, String displayName, Encoding displayNameEncoding) at System.Net.Mail.Message..ctor(String from, String to) at System.Net.Mail.MailMessage..ctor(String from, String to) at DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.Mail.SendMail(String MailFrom, String MailTo, String Cc, String Bcc, MailPriority Priority, String Subject, MailFormat BodyFormat, Encoding BodyEncoding, String Body, String Attachment, String SMTPServer, String SMTPAuthentication, String SMTPUsername, String SMTPPassword, Boolean SMTPEnableSSL) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Host.HostSettingsModule.cmdEmail_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace

I am putting in the IP address of our SMTP server. It is on port 25 and allows the server that  DNN is running on.

Is there a different format other than  XXX.XX.XXX:XX that I should be using??

I am a newb to DNN so sorry if this is a dumb question!

Make sure you put in a valid email address on your host settings page, as well as setup one for your admin user for the portal.

I'd assume by the error message that you haven't setup your HOST email address to be anything other than HOST

Is the "test" link supposed to send an email to the host? I am not getting or sending any emails.

Are there other configurations I need to be concerned about?
