XF 2.0 Email not sending

[Paul Sw]

I have just setup a new site.

I cannot seem to get the email to work. If i send an email via the contact us it works. But from test email in admin panel and user activation does not send. See below error I am receiving.

• Swift_TransportException: Email to xxxxxx@xxxxx.co.uk failed: Unable to send mail.

Fixed

How?

It was a server setting, I use a windows based server and SMTP was not set up in the IIS panel/
