I have specified my smtp server by clicking the advanced button under the General tab, but I do not receive any mail when I test the project on the web. Why is this?
Have you entered your details correctly? Check with your ISP the details of your smtp server. The problem may also lie within the fact that your mail server has an address that does not contain the web domain as a subdomain. For example, your mail server may *not* look like mail.123.abc.net with a web domain of 123.abc.net (ie in this example, the web domain is a sub domain of the mail domain). Due to the security architecture of Java, it is possible that a security exception may be thrown when the web domain is not a subdomain of the mail domain. The problem could also be caused if you are viewing the page behind a firewall because the firewall is preventing Java from communicating with the email host. If you have a web address such as www.myhost.com, try specifying the smtp setting as smtp.myhost.com or mail.myhost.com. We also suggest asking your web provider for the correct setting.
