First time Sending email from my application

When trying to send an email from application using the following


> code>


string to = [email protected];


string from = "[email protected]";


string subject = "Using the new SMTP client.";


string body = @"Using this new feature, you can send an e-mail message


from an application very easily."; MailMessage message = new


MailMessage(from, to, subject, body);


string server = "localhost";


SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(server);


client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;


client.Send(message);


I get the following error:


Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [email protected]


Line 126: client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;


Line 127:


Line 128: client.Send(message);





Can someonehelp me with this?

 

Are you trying to send this from a DASP server?


You shouldn't have to set the credentials.

Oh,


The problem was I was running the application from my local machine. When I uploaded the application to discount asp the email worked fine.

 

No. I tried it both with and without credentials. I copied the code from microsofts web site. This is the first time I am working thru this process so I am not tied to any solution. I just want to move past sending email from .net 2.0





I appreciate the help.

 

hehe...no wonder why....localhost is a 'REAL LOCAL', eh?

When sending from your local network, you might have to use your ISP's SMTP server.

One step forward. I was running the site off my PC.


Thanks for the help.
