New to DNN. Originally I was not even able to get the email working but thanks to a support ticket I was told that for the SMPT mail to work properly one had to edit Host Settings and set both the Host Email in Basic Settings and the SMTP username in Advanced Settings|SMTP to exactly the same address.

Having done that I could press the Test link in the SMTP settings and could see that the test to the named email address was correct. This was done while logged on as HOST because that functionality is not available when logged in as Site Admin.

Ok, then I wanted (still want and need) to start creating Vendors for the banner/sponsor thing. I logged in as Admin, went to the Admin menu and chose "Vendors". I was presented with a Vendor creation page.

I entered all the relevant data, including a valid email address for the vendor. When I pressed Update I received an error in red (two actually):

- Could not send mail to Administrator
- Could not send mail to Vendor

This I find rather odd because if you read this post you could see that the SMTP configuration was already done/saved and tested and that the vendor email address is also valid and operational. So why can it not send an email when the vendor is created?
