This isn't the case with the latest version, 7.96, which does support localhost email servers.

If you need to set email authentication then you need to edit the file'functions/functions_send_mail.asp' and place in the SMTP serversusername and password in the variables that are indicated near the topof the file.

If so web wiz forums currently doesn't support a localhost mail server.

The error sugests an email setup problem.
 
Is this still the case for 7.96?
 
I'm having problems with email activations. I'm running an exchange 2003 server on windows 2003 server (sp1) and hosting my website and forums on the same box.
 
The error I'm getting when try to resend email activations is:
error '80040211'
/forums/functions/functions_send_mail.asp, line 198
 
I have tried numberous configurations but am unable to get this to work, any help would be appreciated.
 
 Thanks,
            Darrell

Sorted out the problem already - I forgot to set the authentication method. Silly me.

In any case what I did was insert the following line into functions_send_email.asp:

With objCDOSYSCon
'Out going SMTP server
.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = strOutgoingMailServer
'SMTP port
.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25
'CDO Port
.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
'Timeout
.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 60

'Login Name
.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "<my username>"
'Password
.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword" ) = "<my password>"
'Authentication Method
.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1

.Fields.Update
End With

Thanks for all the help. ]]> Fri, 04 Mar 2005 22:27:09 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/email-activation_topic3167_post78059.html#78059 <![CDATA[Email Activation : Are you trying to use a &#039;localhost&#039;...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/email-activation_topic3167_post77997.html#77997 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

Are you trying to use a 'localhost' mail server?

If so web wiz forums currently doesn't support a localhost mail server.

Maybe I'm dumb or something, but this is all I get as far as the error message is concerned:

error 8004020f

I can't seem to be able to get any more information about the error so I guess that's all the information that I can provide.

What I did just now was that I changed the sentusingmethod to 1, after which I didn't get the error message, but the mail doesn't seemed to get sent.]]> Fri, 04 Mar 2005 06:28:48 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/email-activation_topic3167_post77994.html#77994 <![CDATA[Email Activation : If you are using IE you need to...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/email-activation_topic3167_post77987.html#77987 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

If you are using IE you need to turn of friendly HTTP error messages to get an acurate error message of what the problem is.]]> Fri, 04 Mar 2005 05:28:07 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/email-activation_topic3167_post77987.html#77987 <![CDATA[Email Activation : I don&#039;t know if anyone of...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/email-activation_topic3167_post77984.html#77984 Author: euromarinos

I don't know if anyone of you still reads this thread but I really wonder if my problem is similar to everyone's.

I set up my forum to send an activation email, but when a new member registers for a new account, the mail doesn't get sent out and the server returns me a HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error to me. And whenever a certain email function is called, I'd get this error again.

I've checked that my server allows me to send mail using CDO, and I was able to send mails out using CDO, so I'm scratching my heads silly trying to figure out what's wrong.]]> Fri, 04 Mar 2005 04:57:34 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/email-activation_topic3167_post77984.html#77984 <![CDATA[Email Activation : It could be problems with the...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/email-activation_topic3167_post14794.html#14794 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

Thanks for the input and I found out the server is not a secure server, but I can send myself and others, emails through the site email program, and I have no problems recieving emails through my IP, so I can eliminate that one.

And Whittibo, I have a XBOX LIVE gaming site supporting ladder matches, be it solo or team based. I too, recommend hitting boards at diet centers/clubs.
