Sending a notification email...

vbMark

Hello,

I am able to make a contact form for my site no problem--it works great.

However, I am making a contact form so that customers can reach other
members who have registered on my site. The problem I am running into is
this, when the SmptClient.Send tries to send to an email address not on my
mail server I get this message:

"System.Net.Mai l.SmtpFailedRec ipientException : Mailbox unavailable. The
server response was: No such user here at
System.Net.Mail .SmtpTransport. SendMail(MailAd dress sender,
MailAddressColl ection recipients, String deliveryNotify,
SmtpFailedRecip ientException& exception) at System.Net.Mail .SmtpClient.Sen d
(MailMessage message) at ContactWriter.S endEmail() in..."

I know that there has to be a way to do this without adding people email
addresses to my server because when I've run a message board I was able to
have members notified when they got a reply to an email.

Why is this not working, what am I missing?

Thanks!
Mark

You may have to supply one of the authentication modes:

Are you saying that you're supplying a different "From" address, then you
own?

Please describe the issue in detail, not just the exception message.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
