Here is what is in my page lode

Code:

  protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MailMessage myMessage = new MailMessage();
        myMessage.Subject = "Test Message";
        myMessage.Body = "Hello world from Planet Wrox";
        myMessage.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "username        
        myMessage.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]", "usename"));

        SmtpClient myStmpClient = new SmtpClient();
        myStmpClient.Send(myMessage);
    }

and in my web confige file there is this

Code:

  <system.net>
      <mailSettings>
          <smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="username &lt;[email protected]&gt;">
              <network host="smtp.mail.yahoo.com" userName="username" password="mypassword" port="465" enableSsl="true"/>
          </smtp>
      </mailSettings>      
  </system.net>

When I run the page in the browers this is what I get

Would appreciate any help you can give me Love This Book!

Also "[email protected]" in the real code is acctually my real username @yahoo.com just as my password is my real password just did not want to post it here and replaced it with generics

Just noticed that in my code quote there is this

myMessage.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "username

there is a missing ); at the end but in the actual page it is there.

In case anyone else runs into this problem here is the fix and I will explain the difference.

Code:

  <system.net>
      <mailSettings>
          <smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="username &lt;[email protected]&gt;">
              <network host="smtp.mail.yahoo.com" userName="username" password="mypassword" port="587" enableSsl="false"/>
          </smtp>
      </mailSettings>      
  </system.net>

The port number is changed from the original I used "465", you need to use port "587 to connect to yahoo's stmp server.

yahoo mail does not support secure sockets so you have to set enableSsl to "false"

works fine for me now just thought others would like to know
