Email setup problem.

[goplu]

I am having an error message when I tried to test my smtp mail setup. I have an email account with godaddy, and the port numbers are 80 and 3535 as far as godaddy says. When I put these ports I get that error. When I put 25 or nothing, it says the test mail is failed. I have tried another email company that offers smtp relay with port 25, that one didn't work either. I don't know what is wrong. Please help. Thanks.

Make sure that you are using correct outgoing server. Read the following link for Email configuration in AbleCommerce

Thanks for the fast reply Mazhar. This is the server address at godaddy "Your outgoing mail server is smtpout.secureserver.net", but it didn't work. If I am remembering correctly I was able to send it with godaddy email account when I hosted my software at ablecommerce's server. But now it is under godaddy's shared hosting servers.

This doesn't seems to be a problem with AbleCommerce. There are some other threads in the forums regarding SMTP settings for example read the following post

Error was fixwt in SP1

But if you send email to your subscribers using different email address that in your email settings ( Requires Authentication) AC show an error after sending that your email adderess not allowed!

I'm new to able and had this issue. you might put "localhost" in the server name and port 25 and do not authenticate. the email went through for me after changing this.

then you might update/create an spf record so your email from able doesn't get labeled as spam. you add a text record into your domain control panel at godaddy. the content of the record can be determined by going to

http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/safety/ ... fault.aspx

you need to know the domain that localhost corresponds to. you can get this from the header of your test message that you send out from email settings page. you fill out the form and it tells you what to paste into your text record. note the form does not create or update your spf record.. it only tells you what you need to paste into your txt record.

good luck.

I finally found the solution. Looks like godaddy has a different smtp server address which is not listed anywhere, not even listed in their help site. The address is relay-hosting.secureserver.net. The port number is 25. Still needed to put the godaddy email account username and password. Thanks to everybody.

I had the same issue and your solution solved my problem as well! Thanks for this great post! I even called GoDaddy, and they didn't even know that address...so how did you find it?

I think this is something we should place some where on WIKI so that any one facing this problem can easily found this.

The following forum thread also have some posts that discussed the same solution.
