Unable to send mail via SMPT
I am new to SiteFinity and have just configured our site to send SMPT emails for forgotten passwords.
I have set the SMPT details on the administration screen however on the login page when i click the forgotten password link i get the error below. I am unsure how to resolve this.
The system has not been configured to send emails. Go to SMTP settings or ask your administrator to set them
Hello Jonathan Withers,
First of all you need to have a set host. You need to check if your settings are correct - if you use a different SMTP port (other than 25) try and see that you can actually have permissions to connect to this server on this port.
Regards,I am actually having the same issue. I setup the SMTP settings and still get the "The system has not been configured to send emails" message when you click Forgot Password. I have confirmed that the settings work properly by using the same settings as the Email Campaigns. I receive emails when clicking the Send Test Message button on that screen.
The SMTP server doesn't require a login, but even when I set it, it still fails. I'm currently running version 4.2.
Ron,
I managed to solve the issue with the help of a user error!
I think the resolution of the problem for me was :-
1. stopping the application pool within IIS
2. Removing the temporty asp.net files from the system
3. Starting the application pool again.
Hello Ron,
In order for the forgot password form to be working correctly you need to set the following values in your membership provider:
recoveryMailAddress
recoveryMailBody
Also, for recoveryMailBody you need to use the following special tags somewhere in the mail body:
<%\s*UserName\s*%>
<%\s*Password\s*%>
Otherwise the system won't be able to send proper emails.
