Newsletter subscription error

I've added the NewsLetter control to a new page and it works fine in that any new subscription are added correctly to the database, but after Subscrive is clicked I get error message:

An error occurred - you haven't been subscribed.

Whys is this occuring? Is it because it is trying to submit an email notification? If so what should I be checking?

Re: Newsletter subscription error

Yes, this usually happens if the e-mail message with subscription confirmation cannot be sent. I would suggest that you verify the CMSSMTPServer value in your web.config and that you make sure the e-mails can be send e.g. from the forms created with BizForms module. You may also want to check the sender e-mail address for your newsletter and make sure this e-mail address is allowed to send e-mails through your SMTP server.

Re: Newsletter subscription error

In the Developers Guild you have a section called "SMTP Server Configuration". When I changed the Connection and Relay sections to options specified my out-going email worked. My concern however is that surely these settings pose a security risk? I had previously had a single entry in each list for the IP address of the server. Excuse my ignorance on this, but why was this not sufficient for CMS?

Thank you
