Do i need an email address and password for Club Starter Kit?

[Tonyg]

Hello.

I'm trying to figure out why i get an error when i try to use send an email from my website hosted here.

I have this in the web.config

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="tony@lakesideos.com">
<network host="localhost" password="" userName="" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

Do i need to set up an email address and password with DASP for this to work?

Thanks,
Tony

Here is the error i'm getting:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Tony,

Is the web.config snippet you posted from the same web.config file you posted here:

If it is, please check that thread for a reply which may help solve the problem that you're running into.

Hello Winston.


It's not really the same web.config. It's been changed numerous times in my attempts to make this thing work. The basic part of it (<network host="localhost" port="25" password="" userName="" />) has always been the same.


The guy that replied to my request never really answered my question. He replied with something that i did not understand and has not replied yet to my reply. His first reply could hardly be considered a resolution to my problem.


Do you have any suggestions.


Thanks,
Tony

Tony,

Could you post the code from the Email.aspx.vb file or at least a few lines of the surrounding code so I can see what else is going on?

Thanks!

Hello Winston.


The problem was in the web.config. After you left your replyin the other post about:


<add key="ClubMailServer" value="mail.club.com" />
<add key="ClubMailUsername" value="admin@club.com" />
<add key="ClubMailPassword" value="password" />

I took it thru the debugger and discovered that what you suspected was happening.

I changed them to what they should be and it allowed me to send an email without an error.


I had asked about those fields in this forum and other forums, but never got an answer, so ijust assumedthat they were not a part of the problem. It seemed like my only problem was in the smtp settings.
Thanks for all of your help.

Tony
