Certainly...I completely understand. Here is the info:
dnn version: 3.2.2 (as a note, we have been upgrading since DNN 1....we even used the XXL varint for while if you remember this)
does it ever work in the forums: No, we have never been able to get the forums to send an email.
What is the email addy going out (you can mask it but i need a format): have tested 2 adddresses in this format on two different domains - info@xxxxx.com, have also used my personal address that is in the format name@spencehackney.com.
is per user enabled: this is not, it is unchecked.
email list whom it is going out to as well. (Meaning i need to know if there is a null email somehow): I tested it on several threads with two test users I created specifically for this purpose. Both fo these test users used my email address (name@spencehackney.com). I did an earlier test using the host account, but then read in the manual that the host account does not have an email attached to it, so I quit testing this way.
Anything else, please let me know!
