Go into Admin->Host Settings and put this as your SMTP Server:

relay-hosting.secureserver.net

Save the host settings.

hi,

I have try with this settings, but when I register on my forum... I do not receive any email !

What can be the problem ?

Thanks

This problem only occurs while using Firefox in WinXP. With IE, I can send emails to users, but not getting auto emails when watched topic gets a new post.
I can also send emails to users with Firefox from my MAC, but no auto email on new post.




I used this SMTP server: relay-hosting.secureserver.net. I get this error.

System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Mailbox name not allowed. The server response was: sorry, your mail was administratively denied. (#5.7.1) at System.Net.Mail.MailCommand.CheckResponse(SmtpStatusCode statusCode, String response) at System.Net.Mail.MailCommand.Send(SmtpConnection conn, Byte[] command, String from) at System.Net.Mail.SmtpTransport.SendMail(MailAddress sender, MailAddressCollection recipients, String deliveryNotify, SmtpFailedRecipientException& exception) at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message) at yaf.pages.ForumPage.SendMailThread()

I have tried a different SMTP server and get the same error.

I am set up thru Go Daddy.

My site is hosted on Go Daddy and I can't get the outgoing e-mail functions of YAF 1.9.1.7 to work properly. I've tried both smtpout.secureserver.net and relay-hosting.secureserver.net. Any ideas?

I did this and it did help speed up the forum but still get an error

I am on version 1.9.1.7 Net(v2.0)

my forum is www.stangbaysix.com/forum

please help... Thanks

If your using the settings displayed in this post, there is no guarantee that setting is still available or set to open relay.

You need to contact your e-mail provider (noramlly your hosting provider) and ask them what SMTP settings to use.

Or Google for a free Open Relay SMTP service.

Strange email issues with my godaddy-hosted site as well....

(Note this is on YAF 1.9.3 RC2 - but I'm thinking it is more of a config/godaddy issue so posting here instead of the 1.9.3 area)
(hosting is asp.net 2.0)

My mail.config file is as follows:

<smtp from="admin@mydomain.com" deliveryMethod="Network">
<network host="relay-hosting.secureserver.net" port="25" password="" userName="" />
</smtp>

Issue Number 1:
When attempting to register a new user on yahoo email, the activation email never arrives (I've tried this with several yahoo email addresses). I am able to successfully register to other (non-yahoo) email addresses such as gmail and my work email.


Issue Number 2:
When attempting to use the email link from a posting the following error is captured in the yaf_EventLog table:

System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Mailbox name not allowed. The server response was: sorry, your mail was administratively denied. (#5.7.1) at System.Net.Mail.MailCommand.CheckResponse(SmtpStatusCode statusCode, String response) at System.Net.Mail.MailCommand.Send(SmtpConnection conn, Byte[] command, String from) at System.Net.Mail.SmtpTransport.SendMail(MailAddress sender, MailAddressCollection recipients, String deliveryNotify, SmtpFailedRecipientException& exception) at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message) at YAF.Classes.Utils.SendMail.Send(MailAddress fromAddress, MailAddress toAddress, String subject, String bodyText, String bodyHtml) at YAF.Classes.Utils.SendMail.Send(MailAddress fromAddress, MailAddress toAddress, String subject, String bodyText) at YAF.Pages.im_email.Send_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in d:\hosting\3172706\html\pages\im_email.ascx.cs:line 86

I attempted modifying the mail.config settings to exclude port, username, password:
<network host="relay-hosting.secureserver.net" />
But that did not seem to make any difference

Seems like this might be a godaddy issue but it's strange that I am able to generate an email for a new account registration to a non-yahoo email address.

Any Ideas?

I have had the same problem.
I have changed my web.config to this

<mailSettings>
<smtp from="forumadmin@mydomain.com" deliveryMethod="Network" >
<network host="smtpout.secureserver.net" password="from-emailpassword" userName="forumadmin@mydomain.com"/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>


Dont know why the relay-hosting doesn't send from everywhere in the forum.
i've tried about every combination and this is the only one that works well

i have gotten "Internal Server Error" a couple of times but the mail still went out

Please post back the godaddy response, if they have a proper setup

thanks..
