Cannot get IIS pickup directory

Hi,

Has anyone seen this problem before when attempting to send an email after a page has been submitted?

"Cannot get IIS pickup directory."

I'm using C#, the SMTP classes andusing localhost as the server...i've tried adding the smtp network credentials but this has not fixedthe problem- any ideas?

Also, the functionality works in development although the receiving email address does put it into the spam folder!

Thanks

 

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();


mail.To.Add(email);


mail.Subject = subject;


mail.From = from;


mail.Body = body;


mail.IsBodyHtml = isHtml;


smtpClient = new SmtpClient(smtp);


smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis;


smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(<username>, <password>);


smtpClient.Send(mail);





This code sends an email from my development server so the functionality is correct, i think it may be something to do with IIS configuration although i'm not sure what.


Appreciate your help

 

The smtp parameter has already been assigned the value of localhost and passing it into the constructor has the same effectas assigning host directly.

The code works on my machine and i can successfully receive an email. The same code throws an exception regarding the IIS Pickup Directory when loaded onto the discountasp server.

 

I've made the change - now the website posts the page without any errors being reported.However, I am still not receiving the email....

 

Nevermind....it's working, just took a litlle longer than expected to come through -


Thanks for your help Bruce
