SMTP Configuration

1-how to configure the web.config file
2-how to configure the register.aspx file "to send the email"

 

This code is 100% works with me
Dim client As New SmtpClient
client.Host = ("smtp.gmail.com")
client.Port = ("587")
client.EnableSsl = True
client.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "MyPassword*****")
client.EnableSsl = True
client.Send(message)
//////This is not working /////
Now What should I put
client.Host = ("smtp.mydomain.com") ???
client.Port = ("25") ???
client.EnableSsl = False ???
client.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "MyPassword*****") ??? Do I really need it or not ???

Thanks ;

 

-Use 'localhost' as your smtp server.

-Do not enable SSL as this is not supported.

-Use port 25

-No need to authenticate if you are sending via our web server so you don't have to use System.Net.NetworkCredential.

 

Sending email via Silverlight for a web service hosted by DiscountASP.net

I am trying to do the same thing in Silverlight following this simple example: http://www.silverlightnext.com/2010/06/send-email-from-silverlight-application.html

See also here: http://tinyurl.com/7hfph65

See the relevant code below. It is not working because I think perhaps I should in the <mailSettings> be using host="localhost"??? YES. That was the key, thanks to the hint by user keikoraca.
I am trying to send from a web service hosted by DiscountASP.net in my account, and I do have an email account named “test” (i.e. test@ MYDASPSITE.com).

So for future reference note the changes made to the Web.config file of your web service. Change to “localhost” even though it is being handled by DiscountASP.net.

THIS Web.config file WORKS:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0"/>
</system.web>
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp>
<network host="localhost" port="25" userName="test" password="MYPASSWORD"/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true. Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>

<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
</system.webServer>
<!--for SMTP see this URL on how to configure web.config http colon backslash blackslah /tinyurl.com/7hfph65 -->
</configuration>



THIS Web.config file DOES not WORK (note the one line difference, no localhost):


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0"/>
</system.web>
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp>
<network host="smtp.MYDASPSITE.com" port="25" userName="test" password="MYPASSWORD"/>

I've just discovered that my website has not been sending emails for 6 months now without me changing any settings. Not best pleased!

My old settings:

Code:

<smtp from="[email protected]">
    <network enableSsl="true" 
                  host="localhost" port="25"
                  userName="[email protected]"
                  password="My_PASSWORD" />
</smtp>

My new settings based on the content above:

Code:

<smtp from="[email protected]">
    <network host="localhost" 
                 port="25" 
                 userName="postmaster" 
                 password="My_PASSWORD" />
</smtp>

These are still not working. Can anyone please explain why?
