Hi there, for some reason the notifictaion emails have stopped. V1.9.6.1 (Date: 3/18/2012). I have tried using the email test in the upgrade panel it apears to send, but no email arrives. I have tried testing the forum email address from Outlook and it sends & receives ok from the address. It just seems to be YAF doesn't manage to send the mail, or it gets lost somehow. I have tried restating the web site in IIS - but problem remains. Please could you help me .. I am stuck. Funny thing is - it did work - until recently. Regards Richard

What does the error message say when you send a test mail trough yaf via the install wizard (Go to forum/install/default.aspx)

However I played around with my mail.config settings and changed from: [code] [/code] to [code] [/code] Changing the username from full email address to just the user name made the difference and now its works. I can't explain why exactly this would allow the sending of email to extrnal addresses, but still maybe someone else can explain it. FYI I am using Mail Enable for SMPT. Best regards Richard
