I am trying to configure our webserver at work, which is hosted at Mweb to send emails through mwebs smtp server however I cant seem to get it right.


From my understanding, the fact that the mail is coming from within mweb , their smtp server will allow mail though without having to provide a username and password. This is also what support told me.

So im sure its just and issue with my configuration. I am making use of mvc Mailier If anyone is familier with it, but regardless here is the config:

<smtp from="[email protected]">
<network enableSsl="false" host="smtp.mweb.co.za" port="587" />
</smtp>


but with this config I am getting the following error:

"Could not complete sender verify callout"

any one have any ideas?

here is the default config:

<smtp from="[email protected]">
<network enableSsl="true" host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587" userName="[email protected]" password="valid-password" />
</smtp>

So does [email protected] have to exist?

if so can I do that with my domain hosting? I mean I dont actually need to have an email account as it is a sending ONLY address.

Yes Mweb checks if the email address exists.

Create a email address [email protected]g

then use that address, also change the sending server to smtp.mweb.net

Hi Zapo

Please provide me with your MWEB account and I'll look into it.

I dont currently have any sort of email setup for the domain. Surely I dont need to setup a whole mail server etc as I am only ever going to be sendign from this account.

Can I not somehow just add the email to my domain hosing in some way?

Add it as a mx record or something along the lines of that?

The SMTP will check your highest priority MX server for account validity so I suspect it won't help to just do it this way UNLESS you use the domain host itself as the SMTP
 
any idea how I can do this ?

I have my domain hosted with dyndns.
 
Hmm,not entirely sure,you say it's hosted at MWeb so they might just override whatever you do

Were it a private server I would Create an email account on the Hosted Domain side for use with your form,SMTP server address *should* be localhost (or the server address directly). That should allow the mail to be sent
Then you just hope the recipient side doesn't validate senders either :)
 
Ok let me explain abit.

There is a Web Server hosted at Mweb. (On a private VM).

I then own a domain name which points to the Mweb Web server so that you can view the websites.

Thats all I got.

What is the correct thing to do? DO i go and sign up for private email hosting and then point my domain name to that email server?

I ideally would like it to still work if the client side validates it as well.

Client side validation would require the Domain MX to respond positively to the email address,so wherever your email is hosted would need a valid mail account (or at least alias) for the noreply
 
So in other words.

I need to signup for email hosting, even thought I wont be receiving mails. Then point my mx record for the domain to the email hosting address.

Then add the email to the email hosting.
 
Can your VM not host a small Mailrelay?
 
It could. I have full access to MS Server 2008
 
Ok sounds good,

So whats the idea with that then?

Will my machine then be the smtp server. It will send the emails.

So in my code, I will set the vm's ip address as the smtp server?

Yes,you could probably use 127.0.0.1 as the IP for the SMTP Server (localhost)
