In your configuration file (web.config) for asp.net application

  <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp from="[e-mail]">
        <network host="SMTP SERVER ADDRESS" port="25"
         userName="USERNAME" password="PASSWORD">
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

just in case you are working on a local PC.. without SMTP server installed ... you could still send mails to local folders

<system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp deliveryMethod="SpecifiedPickupDirectory">
        <specifiedPickupDirectory pickupDirectoryLocation="C:\"/>
 
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

I used a richtextbox to be sent as the email, whatever text is inside it can be sent.


Imports System.Net.Mail

Dim Email As String
Email = RichTextBox1.Text

Dim smtpClient As New SmtpClient
Dim objMail As New MailMessage

Dim objMail_fromAddress As New MailAddress("[e-mail]")
Dim objMail_toAddress As New MailAddress("[e-mail]")

objMail.From = objMail_fromAddress
objMail.To.Add(objMail_toAddress)

objMail.Subject = "Email Subject"

objMail.Body = Email

objMail.Priority = MailPriority.High

smtpClient.Host = "ip Address of SMTP(local)"

smtpClient.Send(objMail)

This can be implemented in web form aswell as vbScript

Hii Thanks for the reply.

How can we check whether the mail is delivered or not n how to view that mail.

Even i coded in the same way (i used C#).

actually my task is just to confirm tht we can send mails from the local machine using the local smtp service instead of connecting to my companys mail server.

if i put the host name as my companys mail server i was able to deliver it and able to see the mail in my inbox(outlook 2000),coz has given my credentials.

Hi all ,

im using ASP.NET 2.0 and C# for code behind.

My task is just to send a mail using the Default SMTP server that comes
along with the IIS (OS is WinXP)

For tht i configured the SMTP server like this

propertied-->Access-->

Authentication -->selected anonymous acces.

Connection -->selected only the list below and added the ip add "127.0.0.1"

Relay-->selected only the list below and added the ip add "127.0.0.1"

my From address is [e-mail]

my To address is [e-mail]

in the code part i mentioned Smtp.host=127.0.0.1
smtp.port=25

when i clik on the send button its not displaying any error message and
not delivering the mail also ..i put try and catch blocks ..but no error
message .

this is what the data in the log file.
10:54:05 127.0.0.1 QUIT - 0
10:54:31 127.0.0.1 EHLO - 250
10:54:31 127.0.0.1 MAIL - 250
10:54:31 127.0.0.1 RCPT - 250
10:54:31 127.0.0.1 RCPT - 250
10:54:31 127.0.0.1 DATA - 250

it seems its working but the mail is not getting delivered to the targetting
address.

Plz help me...corerect me where i was wrong.

Thanks in advance

Hmm that sequence looks roughly correct. Although some smtp servers don't send mail until you do another QUIT (it just queues them up)
I guess a few things to check would be:
Are there and firewalls blocking it? Symantic antivirus has an email watcher that could effect it too
Are the mails being marked as junk mail?
Have you tried a multitude of addresses that you know are correct, from different email hosts (gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc, etc, etc)

Hii Thanks for the reply.
i didn check for the firewalls...i'll check for that and you are right the mails are gathered in queue folder...

let me check for the firewall and antivirus settings.
