Sending Email in DNN

Question

I'm trying to send an email in a DNN module I'm making. However, though it doesn't crash the email isn't being sent. I think it has to do with the From Email I'm attempting to use. I'm not 100% sure what email I should be using for the from which is the first parameter.

Protected Sub Submit_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Submit.Click
    DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.Mail.SendEmail("support@localhost", "[email protected]", "EmailTest", "Hello world!")
End Sub

Solution

The More likely problem is you don't have your SMTP settings properly configured. To configure your SMTP settings, Login as Host. Then, go to Host -> Settings and fill out the fields under "SMTP Server Settings" and save them. There's a test link there as well to verify they are working correctly.
