Arvixe email configuration

Hi, I'm trying to set up a mojoportal installation in an Arvixe hosted account. When I set up the email for the site using my gmail account it works ok, but when I try to use my Arvixe email account it doesn't work. Could someone with a Mojoportal site up and running on Arvixe kindly post the proper keys to set to get it working properly with Arvixe's SMTP servers? Thanks.

Re: Arvixe email configuration

I'm on Arvixe and their email works well in my mojoPortal Contact form.

This is from my web.config file.

<smtp from="rick@hubka.com">
   <network host="localhost" port="25" password="this is not my passwordhahaha" userName="rick@hubka.com" />

Hope this helps

Ricki

Re: Arvixe email configuration

Thanks, I got it working!

I just wanted to post the keys I used in case anyone else needs them.

 

    <add key="SMTPServer" value="localhost"/>
    <add key="SMTPRequiresAuthentication" value="true"/>
    <add key="SMTPUseSsl" value="false"/>
    <add key="SMTPPort" value="26"/>
    <add key="SMTPUser" value="your_email_address@yoursite.com"/>
    <add key="SMTPPassword" value="your_email_password"/>

then later in the file,

<system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp from="your_email_address@yoursite.com">
        <network host="localhost" port="26" password="your_email_password" userName="your_email_address@yoursite.com" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

Re: Arvixe email configuration

Regarding email configuration .... this content states: Note: If you are running version 2.3.6.5 or later, this entire system.net section can be removed or commented out of web.config.

<system.net>
   <mailSettings>
     <smtp from="noreply@yourdomain.com">
      <network host="localhost" port="25" password="" userName="" />
    </smtp>
  </mailSettings>
</system.net>
