Trouble sending email: ASP.NET MVC

Okay, firstly I'd like to say I'm using localhost

I've raised a support ticket and everything seems to be fine re: telnet

So I'm guessing it has to be my code? It doesn't error and redirects to the correct view but I never receive the email... I've pasted the code below, I don't know if anyone can take a quick look and let me know if I'm doing anything stupid please?

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(RSVPFormModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid) {
try {
var mail = new MailMessage();
mail.To.Add("[email protected]");
mail.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
mail.Subject = "RSVP Notification!";
mail.Body = "test";
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
var smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Host = "localhost";
smtp.Send(mail);
mail.Dispose();

}
catch (Exception) {
return View(model);
}
}

return RedirectToAction("ThankYou");
}

 

Didn't work I'm afraid

It was getting through to the "return RedirectToAction("ThankYou");" line anyway and then rendering that view - seems to indicate a successful send as it's firing "smtp.Send(...);" though?

 

Afraid that didn't work either... would any unsent messages be left in a folder/queue that can be checked by the support team?

 

I'm also having a problem sending email for some reason. I'm using MVC, but my email class is not inside a controller directly. I'm also using localhost in basically the same way as above and I'm not receiving emails.

Code:

try
            {
                var mail = new MailMessage();
                SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SMTPServer"]);
                mail.From = new MailAddress(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SMTPEmail"]);
                mail.To.Add(new MailAddress(toEmail));
                mail.Subject = "Verify your registration;
                mail.Body = "Dear Blah blah"
            
                smtp.Send(mail);
                return true;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                logger.WarnFormat("Exception occurred while registering", ex.Message);
                return false;
            }

 

Just wanted to post an update to this - as suspected, was due to my code

My model state was invalid - a really stupid miss on my part - came back to it and found the issue inside of 20 seconds!

Emails went out fine after that Sorry for wasting your time Tasslehoff!
