    Hi,

    I can't send e-mail with SMTP. Don't know what is wrong in my doe.

    In web.config I wrote the SMTP I will be using:

    <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
    <smtp>
    <network host="smtp.mydomain.com" port="587" userName="[email protected]" password="password" />
    </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
    </system.net>

    But it seems something is wrong. I get this:
    Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: The SMTP host was not specified.

    What I'm doing wrong?

    set the SMTP host to "localhost" and port to "25". you do not need to specify a username / password.
