Email in vb.net

E-mail in vb.net

I am using following code to send e-mail. Below code is working fine in my server (192.168.10.10) but when I am using it my client machine it gives proxy error.

Server has proxy setting and user-name and password for proxy are user-name=user and password=user and main login to server to start the server is log-in name=administrator and password is admin.

Please guide me to send the e-mail from my client machine.

System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
 
 
 
                mail.To.Add("[e-mail]");
                 mail.Subject = "subject";
 
                mail.From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("[e-mail]");
                 mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
                mail.Body = "message";
 
                System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient smtp = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("192.168.10.10");
                smtp.Send(mail);

Thanks,
Prashant Trivedi.

I wonder if the key to understanding this question, is that the IP address acts as localhost on that machine. On another machine you will need to use a properly configured smtpclient?

If I understand your post correctly the server asks for credentials.
So use the Credentials property of SmtpClient.

What is the error you are receiving? It doesn't seem right to just specify the IP address of the SMTP server. It seems you would have to authenticate yourself. Can you post the error you are receiving...

So from the above link, an IP could work if you specified the port as well. Its easier when you have created/ are supplied with the configured smtp address, eg smtp.example.com and you don't have to specify a port.
