are you running this application on our server or your own computer? pls post the web.config as well. Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
I was running email page locally. I guess I should run it on remote. web config: <appSettings> <add key="fromEmailAddress" value="[email protected]"/> </appSettings> <connectionStrings> </system.web> <system.net> <mailSettings> <smtp from="[email protected]"> <network host="localhost" password="XXXXX" userName="XXXXXX" /> </smtp> </mailSettings> </system.net> </configuration>
if you are running this on your computer, localhost means your computer and apparently your computer doesn't have SMTP setup. If you run thison our server, it should connect to the SMTP server on the web server. Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
