Sending Mail in Web Application

[trendshandl]

I cannot send emails using my web app. below is the code i'm using



public static void SendMail(string from, string to, string subject, string body)


{


// Configure mail client (may need additional


// code for authenticated SMTP servers)


SmtpClient mailClient = new SmtpClient("smtp.mywebsite.com",587);


// Create the mail message


MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage(from, to, subject, body);


/*


// For SMTP servers that require authentication


message.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate", 1);


message.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername", "postmaster@trendshandling.com");


message.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword", "password");


*/


// Send mail


mailClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential( "postmaster@mywebsite.com" , "password" ) ;





mailClient.Send(mailMessage);


}
