Instead of your SMTP domain try localhost.
If this is in your web.config do it like this:

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp>
<network host="localhost" port="25"/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net></CODE>

This was helpful. I has assumed I had to use smtp.hostname.com as my host but then could not send email because the userName I was using could not be authenticated.

One useful tip I discovered in researching this is that you can for debugging purposed have all email from your website sent to a folder on your harddrive. The benefits are:

- no waiting
- no accidental emails to users




<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="SpecifiedPickupDirectory">
<specifiedPickupDirectory pickupDirectoryLocation="d:\testfolder"/>
</smtp>
<!--<smtp>
<network host="localhost" port="25" />
</smtp>-->
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
