DNN 4.5.1 with Email 2.6

Can anybody tell me the recommended email settings for the 2.6 schedule setting when hosting at WebHost4Life?

I have not been able to get schedule working.

They said to try basic, and add the username and password of the from address.

This setting will send emails that have not been scheduled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you configure the time for the schedule, how do you set it up for your timezone. I believe I need to set it up for the host time which is two hours ahead of our location.

This is the log err i am seeing in history:

We are having the same problem.  Was a solution ever found?

Hi,

This can happen (in v2.6, it should be added as a required field in 3.0) when you create a schedule newsletter distribution but you do not include a category to send it too. You will need to delete any previously setup schedules and then create a new distribution (making sure to select the opt in category you would like the distribution sent too).
