Workflow Email Notification in Trial Version - Sitefinity - General Discussions

We have downloaded and installed Sitefinity 5.1 Professional and want try out the Workflow email notification feature.

If that feature is not available when using the Trial license then please ignore the rest of this message. I searched for the topic on the forums but did not find any answer.

Following various videos, documentation and posts we have done the following:
- Created a Workflow, assigned a user to be notified via email whenever any content is sent for approval and made sure that the Workflow is Active.
- Modified the SMTP (Email Settings) under System in the Advanced Settings page to use one of our Exchange servers.
- Verified that the user has a valid email address set up in their profile
- Created content and selected Send for Approval

No email is received by the user configured in the Workflow.

We have been able to successfully send a Test Email Campaign mail message by configuring the same SMTP server information in the Notification Profile settings, so the SMTP server is reachable and accepts anonymous connections and the Sitefinity app is able to send mail using it.

We find the following exception in the Sitefinity Error log file:
