Connection Error for SMTP

It's timing out because of the network host specified.

This is the preferred mail setting for DASP accounts:
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp>
<network host="localhost" port="25"/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

Just alter your to match and you should be all set.

 

I am working on an app that uses membership in asp.net. When the customer completes the CreateuserWizard, the app sticks when sending an email. I am including the stack trace info. I am sure my connection strings are correct. Can someone look and tell my mail settings and the trace?




<mailSettings>


<smtp from="[email protected]">


<network host="sql2k505.discountasp.net" userName="ourusername" password="ourpassword"/>


</smtp>


</mailSettings>
