Configuring smtp

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:

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

Re: Configuring smtp

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
