How to smtp email?

[enak]

OK, I am getting really frustrated with this. I need to be able to send email
using smtp. The server that we are using is hosted by a third party. We have
created a new account with username and password.

I have searched high and low for a solution to my problem. I have
implemented what I have found but I still get the same error:

"System.Web.HttpException: Could not access 'CDO.Message' object. --->
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the
target of an invocation. ---System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException

at TheColeGroup.Mail.btnSend_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in
D:\Projects\Cole Group\TheColeGroupWeb\Mail.aspx.vb:line 106"

Here is the code that I am using:

<code>

Private Sub btnSend_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnSend.Click
Dim objMail As New MailMessage
lSuccess =

False

Try

If System.IO.File.Exists(Me.txtAttachment.Text) Then
objMail.To =

Me.txtTo.Text
objMail.From = "re*****@thecolegroup.com;" &

Me.txtFrom.Text
objMail.Cc =

Me.txtCC.Text
objMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text

objMail.Subject =

Me.txtSubject.Text
objMail.Body =

Me.txtBody.Text
objMail.Attachments.Add(

New MailAttachment(Me.txtAttachment.Text, MailEncoding.Base64))
objMail.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate", "1")

'basic authentication
objMail.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername", "username")

'set your username here
objMail.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword", "password")

'set your password here
SmtpMail.SmtpServer.Insert(0, "smtp.mysite.com")

'SmtpMail.SmtpServer.Insert(0, "smtp_auth.mysite.com")

SmtpMail.Send(objMail)

lSuccess =

True

End If

Catch ex As Exception
sMessage = ex.ToString
End Try
End Sub</code>

Thanks, but I have already seen that. Is there a setting that I need to set
or do I need to contact the email provider? What is the problem?

all you need it to add the HOST and for some hosting companies you need also
to set the Credentials of an account (user, password) so they can prevent
spam!

do that using this:

Private mailHost As String = "YOUR MAIL HOST"

Private mailCredentials As New Net.NetworkCredential("YOUR USERNAME", "YOUR
PASSWORD")

'create the mail message

Dim mail As New MailMessage()

'set the addresses

mail.From = New MailAddress("YOUR EMAIL", "YOUR NAME")

mail.To.Add(mailTo)

'set the content

mail.Subject = mailSubject

'screen scrape the html

Dim html As String = yourHTMLBody

mail.Body = html

mail.IsBodyHtml = True

'send the message

Dim smtp As New SmtpClient

smtp.Host = mailHost

smtp.Credentials = mailCredentials

Try

smtp.Send(mail)

Catch ex As Exception

Dim ex2 As Exception = ex

Dim errorMessage As String = String.Empty

While Not (ex2 Is Nothing)

errorMessage += ex2.ToString()

ex2 = ex2.InnerException

End While

_error = errorMessage

End Try
my _error variable is a private property under a class as string... so
change it to what you need.
