I am trying to get mail working from Orchard CMS . I run IIS

  • 0

I am trying to get mail working from Orchard CMS. I run IIS Express in the DEV environment. I do have local IIS on my machine as well (W7 x64). I am struggling to tie this all together to see if the mail is generated and has the correct content.

I have tried to set u a virtual SMTP server in IIS with the option to deliver the mail to designated folder. But the sending of the mail from Orchard is not picked up.

Any tips and tricks?

    I had to do some hacking into the code of the Orchard.Mail module. I have changed the line in EmailMessagingChannel.cs:

    smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;

    into:

    smtpClient.PickupDirectoryLocation = somedirectory;
smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.SpecifiedPickupDirectory;

    That worked. Should this not be in some setting that one can turn on or off while developing?
