Arrggggggggggg!
I'm using The Beer House starter kit and trying to configure it to use Gmail to send email. The contact form will send an email that uses the name specified in the txtName textbox, but the email address that is in the txtEmail textbox is ignored. Instead of using the txtEmail address for the "from" address, it uses "contact@gmail.com" - which is the email to authenticate w/ gmail.
So, the "From address and name" should come from the "msg.From = new MailAddress(txtEmail.Text, txtName.Text);" but only the name does...
What am I missing?
Below is my code for the pages:
Contact.aspx:
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Template.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Contact.aspx.cs" Inherits="MB.TheBeerHouse.UI.Contact" Title="The Beer House - Contact Us" %>
<asp:Content ID="MainContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" Runat="Server">
<div class="sectiontitle">Contact Us</div>
<p></p>
<table cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td style="width: 80px;" class="fieldname"><asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblName" AssociatedControlID="txtName" Text="Your name:" /></td>
<td style="width: 400px;"><asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtName" Width="100%" /></td>
<td>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" Display="dynamic" ID="valRequireName" SetFocusOnError="true"

Sorry, I have no idea what this would be the case. Maybe GMail changes the address and simply ignores the field you set?
Have you tried it with a different mail provider?

It works correctly for the email sent from Register and PasswordRecovery pages, but for some reason the Contact page doesn't pick up the correct "From" address.

??? I assume the PasswordRecovery doesn't use the user's e-mail address as the From address, does it?

the mail is actually coming from ur website mail server in other words you are sending an email from contact@gmail.com to contact@gmail.com thats why its using the host email address(contact@gmail.com) when u reply to the message the reply address should be the address that the user type in the mail from box. if it doesnt add msg.replyTo but u should have to

Just so everyone is aware -- this is a well-known issue when using Google as a portable SMTP server. Nothing wrong with your code -- it's Google that's doing it.
