I'm using a freeware dev package from this vendor: http://www.dmgforums.com/ In it are settings for mail, so that people subscribing to threads and such can get email notifications when posts to threads subscribed to are updated, etc. It's also critical I have SMTP outbound for mail account verification. Right now I am forced to approve people manually. Whether I supply the package with "smtp.<mydomain>.com" or "localhost" or leave it blank (which then should auto-attempt "localhost") as the mail server it reports back to me failure. The actual code firing off the email is in a binary I can't see, so I don't know what he's using to attempt that. I do know the package is designed to be ASP .NET 2.0 compliant, so I'm sure it's not some old CDONTS throwback or something in there. What do I feed this thing as my SMTP server so I can get mail to work? Can anyone with knowledge of YOUR platform contact THEM and see what he's using in his binary?
what's the exact failure message being returned? If you're trying to send mail from the webserver, your smtp server should be 'localhost' Joel Thoms DiscountASP.NET http://www.DiscountASP.NET
