Problem sending emails.

I'm having problems with an asp.net 1.1 application. It used to work fine but has only begun since moving to discountasp. Whenever an email is trying to be sent from the application I am getting the following error:


Server Error in '/' Application. </o>



The "SendUsing" configuration value is invalid.</o>

I've checked on the web a few weeks ago and it suggested that it was a problem with the routing to the default server. I've checked all mysettings and they look good to me. I just can't figure this out. This is the send method I am using:

Dim objMailMessage As MailMessage
objMailMessage = New MailMessage
objMailMessage.UrlContentBase = "domain/images"
objMailMessage.UrlContentLocation = "domain"
objMailMessage.From = fromemail
objMailMessage.To = toemail
'objMailMessage.To ="domain"
objMailMessage.Subject = subject
objMailMessage.Body = message
objMailMessage.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost"
SmtpMail.Send(objMailMessage)
'Label1.Text = "Email Sent"


Anyone got any ideas where I am going wrong?

I'm having troubles as well sending email from a web app of mine.

Works great at home but not at discount asp.

I'm sure it's a simple configuration error on my end but I'm not seeing anything in the knowledge base on correct settings.

Reading the previous post, should I be using "localhost" for my smtp server or the designated SMTP server for my domain "smtp.mn4wda.com"?

This wasn't clear to me.

Problem solved... Localhost is what to use.
