i've been trying to get the forum email notification working for a while through various configuration changes and testing, but have come to the conclusion that forum must be sending its mail differently from other modules & core items, so i thought i'd post it here...

i've set up user accounts in various types of email accounts: gmail, yahoo, hotmail, various pop accounts, etc...

i get exceptions in the logs like the following:

i've run it by the hosting company and they say it has to do with smtp authentication.  i checked my settings and things looked fine there.  i then did further tests and found that all of the following modules / functions had email functionality that worked fine:

1) site registration

2) user role changes

3) site newsletters

4) smtp test in settings

5) various other modules (ventrian feedback center & private messages)

 

....so my question is: what is forum doing differently that these modules / functions are not doing?  is there any 'fix' for this?  i'd like to use the core forums because i think they are pretty well done, but this could be a deal-breaker.  let me know if i need to explain something better or provide more information. 

thoughts?

i should clarify here that i am using the following:

- clean install of dnn 4.3.4

- parent portal

- forums module 3.20.08

- basic smtp authentication properly configured in host settings

hownow, can you please check your General Settings and see if it has the checkbox checked for that send as user option. I need to know if hte outgoing emails are coming from a single address (you put in) or from a default one that was setup w/ the forum, or possibly from each user. If you installed the module and never changed anythign here, there is a good chance the outgoing mails are coming from admin@localhost. If this is the case, SMTP server will reject it because of SPAM.

thanks for the response crispy...  i'm pretty sure i've configured everything as it should be.  here are the configured options:

under forum configuration -> email notification

email notification?  <checked>

show sender address? <NOT checked>

email format: Text

email template: dnnsilver

automated address: <same email address as configured in host settings>

The forums don't send mail any different then other parts of DotNetNuke. This module uses the same SendMail function used from registration. The difference here can be the sending from address. SMTP servers will not always allow certain addresses to be the from, because they appear to be spam.
