Were you able to get over the 504 error?  I'm receiving the same error, but all my settings appear to be the same...

I'm getting the same error with GMail. The same credentials works for DNN on the same server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I got same issue. I tried on port 465 but looks like GMAIL enforce to use TLS.

Anyone has a fix for this?

Thank you! This worked for application emails however the system emails are still failing because of the SSL requirement.

I was able to make at least the recover password email work by changing RecoverPassword.aspx.cs:

using mojoPortal.Net;

...

void PasswordRecovery1_SendingMail(object sender, MailMessageEventArgs e)
{
e.Message.Body = e.Message.Body.Replace("{SiteName}", siteSettings.SiteName);
e.Message.Body = e.Message.Body.Replace("{SiteLink}", SiteUtils.GetNavigationSiteRoot());
SmtpSettings smtpSettings = SiteUtils.GetSmtpSettings();
if (smtpSettings.UseSsl)//using SSL requires using smtpSettings
{

System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient smtpSender = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient(smtpSettings.Server, smtpSettings.Port);
smtpSender.DeliveryMethod = System.Net.Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtpSender.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(smtpSettings.User, smtpSettings.Password);
smtpSender.EnableSsl = true;
smtpSender.Send(e.Message);
e.Cancel = true; //stop here so the "built-in" mail routine doesn't run
}
}

It could use a try/catch, I need to read more cause it works on my test server but the webstore dies, schema changes maybe? Anyway that's not realted to this change.

Thanks again Joe,

Not sure if there's an email problem yet. This should go into a new thread but I'll post it here anyway.

Semi Related:

I thought register might have an email issue but I found the register link seems to go directly to "Your account has been created." with a continue button. I started with the release and have as you know started using the svn trunk. Anyway no exceptions are thrown and no record is created in mp_Users. Creating a user in the admin area works fine.

Completly unrelated

I'm adding paysimple and plugnpay gateways to the store and found in dbcartoffer.cs->Update() the SqlParameterHelper sph is constructed with a number of parmeters = 10 which throws an exception because only 8 parameters are passed

SqlParameterHelper sph = new SqlParameterHelper(GetConnectionString(), "ws_CartOffers_Update", 10);

The easy fix is

SqlParameterHelper sph = new SqlParameterHelper(GetConnectionString(), "ws_CartOffers_Update", 8);

I opted to go with adding cartGuid to the mix making the number of params =9 in dbcartoffer.cs and updated cartoffer.c->Udate() and the sp ws_CartOffers_Update sp

public static bool Update(
Guid itemGuid,
Guid cartGuid,
Guid offerGuid,
Guid taxClassGuid,
decimal offerPrice,
DateTime addedToCart,
int quantity,
decimal tax,
bool isDonation)
{
SqlParameterHelper sph = new SqlParameterHelper(GetConnectionString(), "ws_CartOffers_Update", 9);
sph.DefineSqlParameter("@ItemGuid", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier, ParameterDirection.Input, itemGuid);
sph.DefineSqlParameter("@CartGuid", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier, ParameterDirection.Input, cartGuid);
sph.DefineSqlParameter("@OfferGuid", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier, ParameterDirection.Input, offerGuid);
sph.DefineSqlParameter("@OfferPrice", SqlDbType.Decimal, ParameterDirection.Input, offerPrice);
sph.DefineSqlParameter("@AddedToCart", SqlDbType.DateTime, ParameterDirection.Input, addedToCart);
sph.DefineSqlParameter("@Quantity", SqlDbType.Int, ParameterDirection.Input, quantity);
sph.DefineSqlParameter("@TaxClassGuid", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier, ParameterDirection.Input, taxClassGuid);
sph.DefineSqlParameter("@Tax", SqlDbType.Decimal, ParameterDirection.Input, tax);
sph.DefineSqlParameter("@IsDonation", SqlDbType.Bit, ParameterDirection.Input, isDonation);
int rowsAffected = sph.ExecuteNonQuery();
return (rowsAffected > 0);

}

/// <summary>
/// Updates this instance of CartOffer. Returns true on success.

private bool Update()
{

return DBCartOffer.Update(
this.itemGuid,
this.cartGuid,
this.offerGuid,
this.taxClassGuid,
this.offerPrice,
this.addedToCart,
this.quantity,
this.tax,
this.isDonation);

I started a thread under contrubute for the gateway(s). Back to the GMail thread, Basically some mail servers that require authentication (like gmail)  rewrite the "from" address as the authenticated user, so by adding replyTo and putting the desired "from" address as the display name the desired effect of having the contact form (or other app) come from the person that sent it rather than the authenticated user.

Mojoportal.net email.cs

public static void SendEmailNormal(
SmtpSettings smtpSettings,
string from,
string to,
string cc,
string bcc,
string subject,
string messageBody,
bool html,
string priority)
{

...

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
/* Gmail changes the from address to the authenticated user
    add from as the display name so you see who the message should be from */
MailAddress fromAddress = new MailAddress(from,from);
MailAddress toAddress = new MailAddress(to);

/* For Gmail (or others that rewrite the from address) add replyToAddress so the recipient can click reply on this message and have it go to the sender */
MailAddress replyToAddress = new MailAddress(from,from);
mail.ReplyTo = replyToAddress;

mail.From = fromAddress;
mail.To.Add(toAddress);
