Hello everyone,

I tried to configure SMTP Server on DotNetNuke 6.2.5. But I met some problems.

I tried to use smtp.gmail.com as SMTP Server.

SMTP Authentication: Basic

SMTP Enable SSL: checked

SMTP Username: ######

SMTP Password: ######

But when test configuration, I always get error: There has been an error trying to send the test email. The error is:
There is a problem with the configuration of your SMTP Server. Mail was not sent.

Do you have some suggestions?

Thanks very much in advance!

You might take a look at Admin > Events after hitting the Test SMTP button. It will likely have general exception logged with a more detailed error message that might help you.

Also, as mentioned, gmail will likely block the connection unless you tell it otherwise. Last time I tried this (which was awhile ago) gmail sent me an email saying it blocked a suspicious login attempt, but provided a way to enable that functionality.

I don't know if you were able to get assistance on setting up your email, but we have a pretty easy to follow KB article that I think may help out.

Let me know if this helps.
