Sending email via send message web part
I dropped a send message web part onto a page using the CMS Desk. I have the SMTP Server set to localhost in the Site Manager ->Settings -> Emails and in the send message web part properties I have the recipient set to Global Administrator, who's email has been set to a working email address. Everything else is set to it's defaults and hasn't been changed. My host is DiscountAsp.net and they have already confirmed the smtp service is running and working. The page says that the message has been sent and I do not receive any errors in the event log.

Can someone please help!! I've already spend way too much time on this.

Thanks

RE:Sending email via send message web part
Hello,

The Send message web part allows sending messages inside the CMS (Messaging module: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/messaging_module_overview.htm)

It is not possible to use this web part for sending of e-mails.

Best regards,
Helena Grulichova

RE:Sending email via send message web part
Thank you for clarifying that. Can you explain how I would go about creating a custom "Contact Us" form that would send an email via smtp? Would I use the bizform web part?

Thank you

Hi,

Yes, you can use BizForms. You can send e-mail in OnAfterSave event handler of BizForm. Please see 'Modifying the code of standard web parts' article for more details.
