In configure, set the value of {SMTP}{MAILHOST}

Otherwise, check the suggestions in CouldNotSendConfirmationMail.

Thanks for your answer.

Before posting my question, {SMTP}{MAILHOST} was already configured with: smtp.gmail.com:465 (like defined in my Outlook account)

Do you have an other idea to solve the problem ?

I believe that GMail will not accept mails from foreign domains. Your log shows that your sender's address is j-ph.knoepfel@sunrise.ch.

Maybe it is worth trying to set either your GMail-address as administrator's address with GMail in {SMTP}{MAILHOST} or the sunrise address with a corresponding smtp server.

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for these hints, but it doesn't work.

Do you know somebody who have TWiki installed on windows and using email for registrations and notifications ?

Certainly. Me for one.

Perhaps you are missing the Net::SMTP module? See these messages with the same problem:

• WindowsSubstituteForSendMail
• WindowsInstallationDeadEnd
• CouldNotSendConfirmationMail (very similar title to this question)
