-HELP- Newsletter Feature doesn't work.

Discussion in 'ASP.NET Starter Kits' started by Scooter300, Sep 18, 2007.

  1. I am trying to get the Newsletter feature to work in my community starter kit website, without any success. When a test newsletter is sent, for example to a hotmail account, I get ?news@localhost?. I know now that some ISPs won?t recognize an invalid sender address. So, I put it the correct SMTP address for the site. Still didn?t work. I am told that I need to create an email address and password for my web application to authenticate.

    Did it.

    Than I need to configure my web application with that data in order to be able to connect and send messages. And that the wall I hit.

    How do you do this? Is there something in the Community Starter Kit, database or webpage, I need to update? Do I have to write something custom?

    Can anyone help.

    The SMTP server should have nothing to do w/ the sender address.


    Can you post your settings?

  3. My current setting in the ISPAdmin section are as follows:


    Primary Domain: olvnj.com

    Community Domain: *

    Community Subdomain: *

    SMTP Server: localhost

    are you using version 1.1? the 1.1 CSK is full of bugs; i am not sure the one you are seeing is the one of the known bug.


    Since the CSK 1.1 is so old, I don't even have a copy installed. I suggest you try post to the ASP.NET forum and see if anyone knows how to fix this problem.
