    Hi Nukers,

    Does DNN support sending email via M365 without resorting to legacy username/password authentication?  I currently have sites configured to use Gmail SMTP with a username/password.  In order to use this legacy authentication method, you need to configure Gmail to "allow less secure applications", etc.

    Is Oauth / App registrations possible to send email, or is SMTP the only way wtih DNN?

      Yes. Which version of DNN are you using.

      More recent releases of DNN allow you to use separate SMTP configurations, should you choose. You can also specify the username and password for the SMTP server.

      Administrative email from a particular site uses that site's administrative user as the sender, but not as the user who connects to the SMTP server.

      Look under Servers in the Persona Bar to configure the SMTP server(s).

        Hey Joe,

        Thanks for your reply.  I'm using DNN Platform v09.10.02 (0).

        I have been using SMTP with GMail, but am really asking if a more modern way of sending email is supported by DNN.  Legacy username/password connections are being phased-out (security risk), and email providers are stopping authentications via this mechanism.

        Does DNN have any options other than basic username/passwords and SMTP to send email?

          I am in the same boat. My company uses Office365 and while we have been tying into SMTP via basic auth to an Office 365 account that had send-as rights, that is coming to an end in October by Microsoft.

          If anyone has any info on how to make this work going forward, it would be greatly appreciated, as I'm trying to figure out how to move forward with this.

            Yes, this is an urgent issue and needs a solution asap. It is not just outbound traffic but also modules that use POP to collect mail from POP3 servers at O365.

              There seems to be a solution in Mailkit microsoft graph api - How do I connect to Exchange Online using OAuth 2.0 in MailKit? - Stack Overflow

                This might be of interest for how OAuth is implemented - Duplicati OAuth Handler

                  I hope the devs behind DNN are taking this seriously. Isn't the commercial version of DNN built on top of the platform version? If so, maybe the EVOQ people should be doing something?

                  I lost track of how DNN is structured years ago...

                    Evoq is maintained by DNNCorp but that seems to be dead. The community version is very much alive and you can count on the community for solutions. I have already spoken to one of the core members on this issue. Keep an eye on the progress here https://github.com/dnnsoftware/Dnn.Platform
