Hello Everyone,
I have created a class with a couple of fields as information collectors and want to have that information mailed to a fixed email address, which i have already specified in the 'EmailReciever' in both settings/site.ini as well as the settings/siteaccess/admin/site.ini.append file (as i am trying to test the email functionality in the admin site only), but there is no email being sent. Though i have tried to use both 'sendmail' and 'SMTP' Protocol but none of them are working. The [mailsettings]/InformationCollectionSettings] i am using is as follows
[MailSettings] # The type of transport for emails, can be either sendmail or SMTP # Window users should probably use SMTP MailTransport=sendmail [Have tried using SMTP as well] # Configuration for SMTP TransportServer = [MailServer name/ip in case the protocol is SMTP] TransportPort= 25 TransportUser= [userid in case the protocol is SMTP] TransportPassword = [password in case the protocol is SMTP] AdminEmail=nospam@ez.no # The address which will be set at the sender of the e-mail as defaultEmailSender=nospam@ez.no
[InformationCollectionSettings] # Which email collected information is sent toEmailReceiver=reqired_email_address@email.com
I dont even know where the problem is coming, becaz i doubt if there is a log maintained in such a case???
I have Exponential-3.0_2 version installed on the MicroSoft 2000 Server, and have SQUIRREL as the Mail Server.
Suggestions plz ?????
Thanks in advance.

Just had it working, 'MailTransport=' had to be set to 'Transport='.
Thanks
