Hello All,

I have two DNN installations working on one box.  The first installation is 5.1.4 and the second is 5.4.2.  In general both are working fine.

However, SMTP works perfect on the first site, but does not work on the second site. 

I am looing for pointers to try to debug this - I have anonamous enabled but regardless of that or authenticated it will not connect on the second installation, and the first continues to work well.

Any things I need to check?  No idea what would be causing this, or where to start - other than removing the installation altogether or trying another smtp server - I suppose.

Thanks

Mark

Hello All,

Just an update.

It works well when i select gmail as the smtp server, but does not work well when I select the smtp sever installed on the box.  So using 127.0.01 does not work, but smtp.gmail.com works fine.

I would believe it was the local smtp server, except I have another DNN installation working fine on this local host address of 127.0.0.1

BTW, it is Windows 2003 Server and IIS 6 (I assume)

thanks

Mark

Mark, do you have .Net 3.5 SP1 installed on the machine? Is the SMTP server configured to allow "remoting", i.e. sending from and to users from a different domain? Due to a couple of issues fixed, you should upgrade any DNN 5.4.x to 5.4.4

Hello Sebastian,

I started working on this at 16:00 yesterday and at 21:00 still could not make my SMTP settings work.  It seemed so crazy as all other aspects were working, including when I used the Gmail SMTP server.  Finally at 21:05 I thought about my hosts file and when I checked it, I saw that the site name I was pointing to was to my local machine.

IOW, I was working off my local DNN installation, and looking for an SMTP server on 127.0.0.1 which does not have one.

I am sorry for wasting your time, and annoyed at wasting my own time,

Thanks for the help anyway,

Mark

Mark, I am glad you were able to solve it - it is a typical situation, I expect everyone of us already faced before ;)
