SMTP Failure sending mail.

Apr 05, 2006 06:04 PM|LINK

Hi, i'm trying to configure the SMTP Server Settings for DNN with no luck, the error that i get reads, "Failure sending mail." this doesn't give me much to work with! I'm using DNN for an intranet site, the DNN server is in one machine, the mail server is in another machine and I'm on a different machine. DNN is running on W2K server sp4 i have tried all differnet settings in DNN and i get the same error. What am i missing?

here is what my settings look like:

SMTP server: mail.#####.com

SMTP Authentication: Anonymous

SMTP Username: fred@#####.com

SMTP password: *******

By setting SMTP Authentication: Anonymous you should not need a Username/Password.

Try setting SMTP Authentication: Basic

Also, the log in your mail server should tell you why it is rejecting an incoming message. Since you mentioned you are on an Intranet I will assume you have access to the mail server or a phone call away from the mail server Administrator.
