Hello

I'm trying to set up email on a site I am developing on my local machine.

I've followed a video tutorial:
http://www.dnnhero.com/Videos/EntryId...

 

The steps  I took are:

  1. host > host settings > basic tab > host details > set the host email address 
  2. goto smtp server settings
  3. advanced settings > smtp server and port = smtp.gmail.com
  4. SMTP Enable SSL: should be checked
  5. username: email address i.e. my email address
  6. set password

The event log gives the error as: System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Server does not support secure connections

I assume it is possible to send email from my local machine? Not sure what to check now.

Best Regards,

Steve

Hi Steve,

As far as I know Windows  doesn't come normally with SMTP service. So I'm not sure if that would work locally on a machine without SMTP service running.

BTW, I was never able to run emails from local sites, but I may not have tried hard enough.

Cheers,

Aderson

Hi Aderson,

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

I was thinking about it afterwards, perhaps its an IIS setting. But I have decided toto leave and do that testing when I go live.

 

Thanks once again.

 

Steve

About Us
The Cape
The Cape

This is Aderson Oliveira and I'm the Chief Editor of DNNHero. First why "DNNHero". If you think I'm just a self-indulgent individual, maybe you are right :). But this was not the case. This came from a good friend of mine, Carole Martin. Back then we were working on many DNN projects together and whenever she was having a problem she used to say that she needed her "DNN Hero" referring to me. How nice! She even give me a super hero cape!

So when I decided to start recording my learning adventures on DNN, I went to check if the domain "DNNHero.com" was available. It was, so here we are.

Back in 2010 I have decided to focus my time and efforts on spreading the word about CMS platforms, DNN in particular .

I hope you enjoy DNNHero and please feel free to send me your feedback.
