Email settings in web.config

I'm having difficulty identifying the correct settings for DASP email. The settings below produce an error. I have tried "localhost" instead of "DiscountASP.net" and still get an error. Can you help me?

<mailSettings>
<smtp from="[email protected]">
<network host="DiscountASP.net" password="******" port="587" userName="[email protected]" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>

If you're going to be sending out email in ASP.net 2.o, I'd recommend you try using the sample code we provide here:
http://support.discountasp.net/KB/a364/how-to-send-email-in-aspnet-20.aspx

Give the sample code a try and let us know if you're still having issues.

 

Thanks, I appreciate the help. However, I also need the web.config settings for use in password recovery. Any ideas?

 

I also am having an issue sending email and it was working before during some earlier tests.

I did try the code you point to, here's my copy with my modifications for my code:

Dim MailMsg As New MailMessage(New MailAddress(from), New MailAddress(recipient))
MailMsg.BodyEncoding = Encoding.Default
MailMsg.Subject = subject
MailMsg.Body = body
MailMsg.Priority = MailPriority.High
MailMsg.IsBodyHtml = False
'Smtpclient to send the mail message
Dim SmtpMail As New SmtpClient
SmtpMail.Host = "localhost"
SmtpMail.Send(MailMsg)

I found this code gave an "unable to relay" error, so I added this line before the SmtpMail.Send ... :

SmtpMail.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis

The code then executes fine, but I never get the email.

Any ideas?

 

In case anyone reads this thread and is interested, I figured out the issue.

I captured the error with the above code - "Error in processing. The server response was: Greylisted, please try again in 900 seconds."

So I changed the DeliveryMethod from SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis -to- SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network.

Now works.

 

Thanks for posting the follow-up!
