Email problem from web site

Using vs 2010 and trying to get website to send me an email on load. Got it to work yesterday but I must have changed something. Build and Publish work fine.

Have this code in my Web.config,

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="[email protected]">
<network host="localhost" port="25"
userName=""
password=""
defaultCredentials="true" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>


And this code in Email.aspx,

Imports System.Net.Mail
Public Class Email
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim myMessage As MailMessage = New MailMessage()
myMessage.Subject = "Test message"
myMessage.Body = "Hello world"
myMessage.From = New MailAddress("[email protected]", "John Doe")
myMessage.To.Add(New MailAddress("[email protected]", "John Doe"))

Dim mySmtpClient As SmtpClient = New SmtpClient()
mySmtpClient.Send(myMessage)

End Sub

End Class


Thanks

Sorry for the delay in responding. I decided to read the first 8 chapters of Beginning Wrox ASP.Net instead of skipping to the part about sending emails.

Using the test email contact form at aex1.com.
I used the same code in the web config file as before, but I do not receive the emails. Should I be using "[email protected]" or my email [email protected]? Should I leave the username and password blank? I am using port 587 in the setup of Outlook if that matters. Received the following error message from earlier attempts,
Could not deliver message to the following recipient(s):

Failed Recipient: [email protected]
Reason: Remote host said: 601 Attempted to send the message to the following ip's:
216.239.122.34


<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="[email protected]">
<network host="localhost" port="25"
userName=""
password=""
defaultCredentials="true" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

Thanks

Got it working. Helps when you enter your email in the code behind of the contact form. Embarrassing.

 

It's always the seemingly obvious stuff that slips by.
