I'm new to modx and I've read numerous articles regarding godaddy free email and modx smtp settings. Could someone please provide me with the proper smtp settings to get godaddy email working? I'd like to say I'm using formit.
What I've tried
username - full godaddy email address
password
security authentication - yes
smtp host - relay-hosting.secureserver.net
smtp port - 465
use smtp - yes
I've also tried it with no authentication with port 25
I'd also like to say this site is hosted with one of godaddy's inexpensive hosting packages which comes with the free email account.
When the form is submitted, the page gets redirected to the home page, I see the email data embedded as a url parameter. However it isn't cleared, I'm not sure if there is an issue with the plugin not submitting the form correctly, or I just need to add a proper redirect. Any help would be appreciated.
Resolved, appeared to be a missing ` in the formit settings.

So my 'enabling' HTTPS stage for my CDN endpoint has been stuck for 3+ days at 'enabling cdn' with the usual message of: a verification request will be sent to the email listed in your domain’s registration record (WHOIS registrant).
Now, I have the CNAME set as you can't even add it if it's not set to the right CDN endpoint. I have cancelled the process and restarted it after 2 days and now at the 2'nd attempt it's been hanging for 3 days.
The issue is the email for verification via the WHOIS will always go to something like protected-by-gdpr#gdpr-protected.com -- some type of placeholder domain as due to GDPR in Europe WHOIS data is no longer available.
This is not like 'WHOIS GUARD' that still leaves a way of getting contact, nor it is changeable, it is by default enforced across all domains as far as I can tell.
Now my questions is, what do I do to enable HTTPS on my custom domain if it doesn't care/look at the CNAME records?
According to this doc, If the CNAME record entry for your endpoint no longer exists or it contains the cdnverify subdomain,
DigiCert also sends a verification email to additional email
addresses. If the WHOIS registrant information is private, verify that
you can approve directly from one of the following addresses:
admin#<your-domain-name.com>
administrator#<your-domain-name.com>
webmaster#<your-domain-name.com>
hostmaster#<your-domain-name.com>
postmaster#<your-domain-name.com>
You should receive an email in a few minutes, similar to the following
example, asking you to approve the request. If you are using a spam
filter, add admin#digicert.com to its whitelist. If you don't receive
an email within 24 hours, contact Microsoft support.
You also could verify the above addresses. As far as I know, some similar domain ownership verifying question such as could not get verified from WHOIS registrant or your domain owner information is not enough exposed publicly so that domain ownership verifying has a failure.
To get fix these issue quickly, you can directly contact Microsoft support. They will confirm the domain information for you. See another similar thread.
I needed to add digicert to my CAA authorities in my domains DNS setting, because I already had a value present, it wouldn't let me issue certificates unless I added that there.

Strange Activities : I am getting lots of junk account creation on my magento website. This leads to lot of bounced emails, and hurting my domain authority.
I regularly ban ip addresses who access open ports of magento randomly. I am thinking of capturing ip addresses while they create account and ban those ip addresses as-well.
How to stop these Junk users / Spammers ?
You may follow below steps :
Install McAFee Secure to Your website & Have your website Pass the Security Checks
Enable Magento Default Captcha Follow this Steps
OR Install ReCaptcha Plugin to Your Frontend's Registration & Login Page
OR Install Magento Extension for Captcha : Simpler Captcha
Enable Captcha to Your Administrator Login. Follow this Steps.
(Optional) Enable SSL on Magento. Follow this Steps.
Hope this will definitely help you.
I tried captcha, sure it did help. But then customer registration dropped.
So I did some research and found that those accounts were made from Russian ip addresses. I downloaded the data of complete russian IP addresses. And denied them under .htaccess file.
I am having some difficulty setting up my SendGrid account to connect to my DNS on Cloudflare and enable custom domain whitelisting for two domains.
My plan is to deploy emails from my Clickfunnels' Actionetics account. Currently, my integration into Clickfunnels is a success and I was able to receive an automated test e-mail (from my custom domain) to my personal email address. I understand that I should be able to send emails from any e-mail address I need (support#domain.com, hamid#domain.com, info#domain.com) without needing to physically needing to go through any setup process to get these emails up and running. Initially when I went through the SendGrid setup, I needed to add 3 CNAMES to my Cloudflare DNS. Everything successfully installed without any issues from Cloudflare. After speaking with Support, I was told that I might need to retry the whitelabel wizard with automatic security off. Going through this wizard should give 2 txt's and one MX (mail exchanger) record instead of 3 CNAMES.
"Automating security allows the system to redirect ISPs to SendGrid to check DNS records that follow strict security protocols and are custom to your account. Due to a character limit on TXT records, we are only able to create a custom SPF (sender policy framework) record for users with up to 11 IP addresses. This will not affect deliverability. You would have to go through the whitelabel process again."
If you have experience in this type of issue, please let me know what you think.
This is one method the I recommended.
“white-label the domains again but this time completing it with automatic security turned off. Going through this wizard should give 2 txt's and one MX record instead of 3 CNAMES.”
"Automating security allows the system to redirect ISPs to SendGrid to check DNS records that follow strict security protocols and are custom to your account.

Thanks, I hope you can resolve this.
I can't understand your question.
SPF is kind of TXT record, it can help receiver know email comes from right ip address.
Whitelabeled Domains help receiver know email really comes from the right server.
Sendgrid need a subdomain and two well-know subdomain to verify your identity.
I have deployed Orchard on azure and enable Email Messaging module. Enabling says it enables successfully and asks for email settings. I provided it the mail server setting. Strange thing is, User setting does not show me the settings which are dependent on email messaging module (Contact us email address and public site name) and does not show me ("Lost your password") link . Also I have built a module which sends email. This module is not sending email.
Same orchard package works fine and also email on my dev server with same mail server settngs(gmail smtp settings.) But email is not working on azure.
What am i Missing ?
thanx
Just FYI for anyone else who visits this Question, I just got this working from Azure using the gmail SMTP server without any third party add-ons. I simply added the following SMTP details:
Then used the contact form to send an email to myself. The first email gives me an alert to my gmail account:
Hi Simon,
Someone recently tried to use an application to sign in to your Google Account - XXX#gmail.com.
We prevented the sign-in attempt in case this was a hijacker trying to access your account. Please review the details of the sign-in attempt:
Monday, April 8, 2013 9:33:46 PM UTC
IP Address: 65.52.168.70
Location: United States
...blah blah blah
If this was you, and you are having trouble accessing your account, complete the troubleshooting steps listed at http://support.google.com/mail?p=client_login
Following the link give you the option to allow an application to login with your credentials. Just follow the link in step 3 and then you have 10 minutes to send another email from your orchard site. The next test message I received without issue.
Got it. Windows Azure itself does not allow sending email neither it allows to use SMTP. WE have to use third party email service like PostMark,SendGrid etc

So, I'm just curious how does WordPress, installed on Windows Azure (gallery), able to send emails?
http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/configure-smtp/
There are still too many different suggestions on the subject so i thought i should write what I've found useful. Here's what i did to get it to work:
My SMTP settings:
Sender address: myname#gmail.com
Hostname: smtp#gmail.com
Port: 587 (25 will also do)
SSL Communications: Checked
Credentials: My Gmail address and my password
These settings should work on your local environment just fine. But on the cloud you may need to do the following:
As your Azure VM may be at some arbitrary location, Gmail marks the login attempts as suspicious and blocks them. If this is the case, you should see a mail informing you about this suspicious activity in your inbox. Just follow the instructions there and mark the login as trusted. It will remain that way until somehow your IP on the cloud changes (e.g. deleting your deployment slot). VM relocation shouldn't be an issue since the IP still remains the same. You may have to do this separately for your staging and production slots.
Lastly, I enabled full trust for my web role as shown here:

I hope this helps others having this problem.
Cheers
No more third-party with GitLab 15.5 (October 2022):
Deliver emails using Microsoft Graph API with client credentials flow
If you’ve enabled security defaults in Azure AD,
legacy authentication protocols for SMTP are blocked.
You can now configure your GitLab instance to deliver emails using
Microsoft Graph API
with OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow.
See Epic, Documentation and Merge Request.
The gitlab.rb would include:
gitlab_rails['microsoft_graph_mailer_enabled'] = true
# The unique identifier for the user. To use Microsoft Graph on behalf of the user.
gitlab_rails['microsoft_graph_mailer_user_id'] = "YOUR_USER_ID"
# The directory tenant the application plans to operate against, in GUID or domain-name format.
gitlab_rails['microsoft_graph_mailer_tenant'] = "YOUR_TENANT_ID"
# The application ID that's assigned to your app. You can find this information in the portal where you registered your app.
gitlab_rails['microsoft_graph_mailer_client_id'] = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID"
# The client secret that you generated for your app in the app registration portal.
gitlab_rails['microsoft_graph_mailer_client_secret'] = "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET_ID"
gitlab_rails['microsoft_graph_mailer_azure_ad_endpoint'] = "https://login.microsoftonline.com"
gitlab_rails['microsoft_graph_mailer_graph_endpoint'] = "https://graph.microsoft.com"
I want to configure SMTP on my web server, so that any email sent through the SMTP server is relayed to a remote SMTP Server. The IIS SMTP server would have to use SMTP authentication, and use the host name, username and password (as if configuring a normal email client).
Does anybody know if this is possible?
Yes, it' completely possible, and relatively easy to configure.
I've got a couple of articles about SmartHosting on my web site that will probably help:
http://www.christopherlewis.com/SmartHosting/SMTPSmartHosting.htm
and
http://www.christopherlewis.com/SmartHosting/SMTPSmartHostingPt2.htm
They're written towards Exchange 2003, but Exchange 2003 used IIS's SMTP engine, so the settings are the same.
Bascially, you right click the SMTP site, select properties, Delivery tab, Outbound security, and enter your credientials in the Basic Authentication fields. Back on the Delivery tab, you then click Advanced and enter the remote SMTP server name in the SmartHost field.

HTH and answers your needs

I think you can only set outbound relays for specific domains, not blanket coverage.
http://www.isaserver.org/articles/smtprelayinboundoutbound.html
EDIT:
I've not done this before, buy maybe worth a try:
From the Server properties, you could try selelcting the 'Delivery' Tab, then advanced. In the Smart Host, type the outgoing SMTP relay IP / domain. Select OK, and then select 'Outboud Security' and enter your username / password in the basic authentication box.
