Using the code below, I am trying to send an email from an ASP.NET 2.0 page
but I get the error " The specified string is not in the form required for
an e-mail address." when the "Dim Mailmsg..." line is executed. Since I
haven't defined the from/to yet, I don't understand what it wants? Any
insight on what causes this?
=========================================
Dim obj As System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient = New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
Dim Mailmsg As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
Mailmsg.To.Clear()
Mailmsg.To.Add(New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("To Name
<to****@todomain.com>")
Mailmsg.From = New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("From Name
<fr******@yourfromdomain.com>")
Mailmsg.Subject = "(subject text)"
Try
Mailmsg.Body = "(message text here)"
obj.Send(Mailmsg)
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write("Error: " & ex.ToString())
End Try

re: Since I haven't defined the from/to yet
Actually, you *have* defined it, as :
Mailmsg.To.Add(New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("To Name <to****@todomain.com>")
Mailmsg.From = New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("From Name <fr******@yourfromdomain.com>")
It's expecting a mail address in the form :
new MailAddress("so******@somewhere.com", "Some Name");
Try :
Mailmsg.To.Add(New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("to****@todomain.com", "To Name")
Mailmsg.From = New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("fr******@yourfromdoma in.com", "From Name")

I'm confused. The error occurs on the "Dim Mailmsg..." before the To and

Thanks for that response - You pointed me in what I am sure is the right
direction. I am trying to get the web.config settings right for my
environment (Comcast). It seems that comcast does not require authorization
but there must be something else I overlooked as I am getting the following
error;
Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: [PERMFAIL] comcast.net
requires valid sender domain
I am not sure exactly what it wants - I did try my comcast login and PW but
that had no effect?

I got it working. That last problem was caused by my use of a domain that
had not been activated yet in the From address.
