I'm trying to set up a basic email feed back form
like
this, and was wondering about some basic configuration settings. I
have used code from
this
website. I have it working just fine. I'm running IIS on my home
machine.
My problem is that I need to upload this stuff to a webhosting place and
register a domain and I'm not sure what to put as the smtp mail server value
in this script??
Currently I am with the Optusnet ISP and thus for the SMTP server i put
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mail.optusnet.com.au"
and then up towards the top of the script I have the contents of the form to
be sent to the following email address,
objMM.To = "bl**@optusnet.com.au"
[SIZE=3]My question is, what value to I put for SmtpMail.SmtpServer, when
I upload this website to some webhosting place? Do I just put it as
mail.webhostingplace.com.au or how do you know what to put for the SMTP
server?[/SIZE]
I know this is basic and that many of you would have done it a million times
before but I just don't know the answer to this and noone seems to be able
to give me a straight answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. See the script below for what I'm
currently using and working on my home machine running IIS.

objMM.From = txtEmail.Text
'If you want to CC this email to someone else, uncomment the line below
