ok Mr.Imar,
This is my code:

Quote:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
System.Web.Mail.MailMessage message = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();
message.From = "[email protected]";
message.To = "[email protected]";
message.Subject = "Send Email";
message.Body = "Massage Recived";
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "Localhost";
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(message);

}

My server Name is : Localhost.

The error occured is

Quote:

Yes, I know all that, as you said the same in your previous messages ;-)
However, in order to solve this, you need to figure out answers to my questions:

Quote:

And do you have an SMTP server installed locally? Or is there another SMTP server (from your internet provider for example) that you can use?

In order for this to work, you need an SMTP server you can communicate with. This *could* be localhost, but for that to work, you need to have an SMTP server installed locally. This doesn't get installed by default, so unless you installed one explicitly, there's a fair chance you don't have one. Google for "install SMTP server windows" for more details.

As an alternative to a localhost SMTP server, you could use the one you already use for e-mail on your desktop. This host is typically supplied by your ISP or network administrator.

Cheers,

Imar
