I am using asp.net password recovery page and its failing when comes to emailing. this is the error I get : SmtpFailedRecipientException: Mailbox unavailable this is my webconfig settings <system.net> <mailSettings> <smtp from="[email protected]" > <network host="smtp.xxxx.com" password="xxxxxx" userName="XXXX" defaultCredentials="false" /> </smtp> </mailSettings> Please help me with this. The page is working fine locally but fails on discountasp.net server, its this web config page problem only because I am able to email from my application when I am using my own emailing code. Thanks
Hi, Try like this: <system.net> <mailSettings> <smtp from="[email protected]" deliveryMethod="Network"> <network host="localhost" port="25" password="xxxxxx" userName="[email protected]" /> </smtp> </mailSettings> </system.net>
Thank you its working but how ?? Thank you , awesome it worked !!! but I have a question ...how is it working for "Localhost" when I am using a remote server smtp.xxxx.com Thanks again Pranay
when you set the smtp server to localhost, message will be relay out from the smtp service on the server.
