Blog email error

I was testing the Blog module.  I posted a comment.  Then, I clicked on the comment and another editor popped I.

I entered data and clicked submit.  I think I have my smtp email settings set properly in the user.config and also in the web.config.

Do you have any suggestions where I should look to check/test my settings?

Re: Blog email error

Hi Mike,

If you have this set to false, I would try changing it to true.

<add key="SMTPRequiresAuthentication" value="false" />

I'm using Yahoo business email account which I got when registering my domain through Yahoo Domains. My settings are like this and they work for me, but of course it varies with different email providers.

<add key="SMTPServer" value="smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com" />
<add key="SMTPRequiresAuthentication" value="true" />
<add key="SMTPPort" value="587" />
<add key="SMTPUser" value="***@****" />
<add key="SMTPPassword" value="***" />
<add key="SMTPUseSsl" value="false" />

obviously I've masked out my user name and password

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Blog email error

I add the key to the user.config file, set it to true, and updated web.config to force a reread.

It solved the problem.  Thanks
