Whats does your code(used for sending mail) look like?Also,any more details in the error message?

Something like;

(Import Namespace:System.Net.Mail)

Dim mailobj As MailMessage = New MailMessage()

mailobj.To.Add(New MailAddress('you@yourdomain.com'))
mailobj.Subject = 'DiscountASP.NET'
Dim SmtpMail As New SmtpClient
SmtpMail.Send(mailobj)

Should work fine with your config.

See: http://kb.discountasp.net/article.aspx?id=10443 for a sample code

It seems you are seeing a custom error page.Please set CustomErrors mode to 'Off' in your web.config
i.e
in your webconfig

<customErrors mode= 'Off'</font> defaultRedirect='****.aspx' />

This will show you the exact error message.Please let us know the exact message so that we can help you with the issue.

Web.config needs to be:

<connectionStrings>
<add name='connectionstring' connectionString='Data Source=Data Server ;Integrated Security=False;Initial Catalog=Database Name;User
Id=Database_user;Password=Password' providerName='System.Data.SqlClient' />
<add name='MyProviderConnectionString' connectionString='Data Source=Data Server ;Integrated Security=False;Initial Catalog=Database Name;User
Id=Database_user;Password=Password' providerName='System.Data.SqlClient' />
</connectionStrings>

and Not:

<connectionStrings>
<add name='connectionstring' connectionString='Data Source=Data Server ;Integrated Security=False;Initial Catalog=Database Name;User
ID=Database_user;Password=Password' providerName='System.Data.SqlClient' />
<add name='MyProviderConnectionString' connectionString='Data Source=Data Server ;Integrated Security=False;Initial Catalog=Database Name;User
ID=Database_user;Password=Password' providerName='System.Data.SqlClient' />
</connectionStrings>

Otherwise, you might get an error when installing this kit. Note, it only thing that changed is the 'User Id' element from 'User ID' to 'User Id', the web.config file seems to generate an error stating that 'User ID' not supported, or the like. /emoticons/devil.gif
