Hi,

I red you're article how to configure the site settings in order to send emails using mojoportal.
in the web.config file I have used those settings:


<appSettings file="user.config">
    <add key="SMTPServer" value="smtp.gmail.com" />
    <add key="SMTPRequiresAuthentication" value="true" />
    <add key="SMTPPort" value="587" />
    <add key="SMTPUser" value="myUserName@gmail.com" />
    <add key="SMTPPassword" value="myUserPassWord" />
<add key="SMTPUseSsl" value="true" />

and this are my system.net settings
<system.net>
    <!--moran 15/05/11 11:00-->
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp from="myUserName@gmail.com">
        <network host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587" password="myUserPassWord" userName="myUserName@gmail.com"/>
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

I have configured the site email address as the same email address(from field), and still I get this error message:

I have changed some of the private data deliberately. 

I see in the error log that for some reason the application still wants to use the internal server Address in order to send emails.

hi joe

thanks for your help, I am still getting those annoying error messages. can it be something with my hosted server? is there something i can do in order to open port 25?

best regards

Moran

hi joe

thanks for your help, I think that was the problem, I changed the value to false and now I get a different error:

2011-05-18 10:15:47,319 ERROR mojoPortal.Web.ContactUI.ContactForm - error sending email from address was "email address" to address was "email address"
System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.

I changed the real emails deliberately. 

great!!! it is working now, thank you so much for your help!
