Hello Pinal

Have you setup the SMTP information i the web.config at all?

/Jan

Yes smtp setting are fine in web.config

 <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp>
        <network host="smtp.gmail.com" userName="[email protected]" password="xxxxxx" port="587" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

Hi Pinal

Maybe this could have something to do with the settings in google apps?

Try reading this answer here - I think part 1 could be worth checking out: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google%20Apps/thread?tid=396e53acd0030ef4&hl=en

I don't think any issue with google.

I was looking at code in umbraco.library.SendMail

public static void SendMail(string FromMail, string ToMail, string Subject, string Body, bool IsHtml)
{
    try
    {
        MailMessage message = new MailMessage(FromMail.Trim(), ToMail.Trim());
        message.Subject = Subject;
        if (IsHtml)
        {
            message.IsBodyHtml = true;
        }
        else
        {
            message.IsBodyHtml = false;
        }
        message.Body = Body;
        new SmtpClient().Send(message);
    }
    catch (Exception exception)
    {
        Log.Add(LogTypes.Error, -1, string.Format("umbraco.library.SendMail: Error sending mail. Exception: {0}", exception));
    }
}

Looks Umbraco library is not taking care of enabling SSL.

I modifed the code as below and is working fine.

 public static void SendMail(string FromMail, string ToMail, string Subject, string Body, bool IsHtml)
        {
            try
            {
                MailMessage message = new MailMessage(FromMail.Trim(), ToMail.Trim());
                message.Subject = Subject;
                if (IsHtml)
                {
                    message.IsBodyHtml = true;
                }
                else
                {
                    message.IsBodyHtml = false;
                }
                message.Body = Body;
                SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
                client.EnableSsl = true;
                client.Send(message);
                
            }
            catch (Exception exception)
            {
                Log.Add(LogTypes.Error, -1, string.Format("PBDesk.Umbraco.Helper.UmbHelper.SendMail: Error sending mail. Exception: {0}", exception));
            }
        }

Can we suggest Umbraco dev team to add one more overload for umbraco.library.SendMail method to take parameter for enabling SSL?

Hi Pinal

You can add a feature suggestion on codeplex if you think this extension should be modified. However I'm not sure they will change the extension. But maybe this could be a great suggestion for the uComponents package? Maybe you could contribute to that project because there is no doubt about it's a good idea :-)

Hi 

Below is my XSLT/Macro solution for sending emails from Umbraco via SSL.

Assumning smtp settings done properly in web.config as below:

 <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp>
        <network host="smtp.gmail.com" userName="[email protected]" password="xxxxxx" 
              port="587" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

Hi Pinal,

One bit of advice, try not to use the inline code/script blocks within your XSLT files.  As they are compiled for each and every page load (and stored on your server's temp folder).  If possible, move the code to an App_Code class. (or even better a separately compiled assembly).

More info on the XSLT code issue: http://www.tkachenko.com/blog/archives/000620.html

... and Doug has a blog post on how he moved his XSLTsearch code over to App_Code: http://blog.percipientstudios.com/2010/11/12/make-an-app_code-xslt-extension-for-umbraco.aspx

Cheers, Lee.

This is an awesome exercise for someone like me new to this kind of CMS.

Nice advice Lee !

Thank you Pinal, your support is much appreciated.

Umbraco comunity looks better and better to a newbie like me ;)

You're beginning to see the orange light!
