I am learning ASP.NET from the book, "ASP.NET for Dummies". An example for
sending email using SMTP fails on my PC. What does this error mean and how
to fix it.
I am running Windows XP and I have Outlook Express which I assume has
installed SMTP in order to work.
The error screen is:

Outlook is not a SMTP server.
Use your ISP's SMTP server to send e-mail and it should work.

Outlook Express can send mail messages via SMTP, but it is
not the same as an SMTP server.
Given that you have not set the SmtpServer property of the
SmtpMail object, it will fail as it will attempt to use
the local host.
You can install the SMTP server through add/remove
programs (Windows Components) on Win2K/WinXP/Win2003.

Hi,
Check out the following articles about Email and ASP.NET http://www.developer.com/net/asp/article.php/3096831 http://www.developer.com/net/asp/article.php/3287361
The code samples in the above articles assumes that you
have a real server. You will get free ASP.NET server a/c
from europe.webmatrixhosting.net

Which title in the Components menu is the SMTP server? I don't see anything
entry that specifically says SMTP. I have everything installed except for:
Fax Services
Message Queuing
Universal Plug and Play
Other Network File and Print Services
Windows Messenger
If the server is installed, how do I set the SmtpServer property? Where
would I find it?

I don't understand how to do that. What statements do I put into my code

Thanks to all for your helpful instructions. By adding two lines to my
example, I got it working. I needed the server object and the address of my
ISP.

aEmailBody = "Thanks for reading this message. " & _
