Hello:
I am newbie and now compleated reading chapter 3 of asp.net 2.0 web programming problem-design-solution.
I am doing with C#.
Not able to send eamil message with contract.aspx page.
I am running the site in my localhost. I am trying to send email to myself and doing the following in web.config file. It shows the label message that my email is sent, but i did not receive it in my yahoo email. Why is that???

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="PickupDirectoryFromIis" from="r [email protected]">
    <network defaultCredentials="true" host="(localhost)" port="25"/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

Also, I tried setting up smtp deliveryMethod="Network" , then my error label shows that unable sending message...
I will appreciate your help.
Thank you

You need to have Internet Information Services (IIS) running on your local machine, with SMTP enabled in order to send mail.

Here is link to IIS site:
http://www.iis.net/default.aspx?tabid=1

Thank you
I am running IIS 5.1 and i have now enabled SMTP and allowed my computer to relay through this virtual server. Still when I run my application I get the Exception: ((System.Net.Mail.SmtpException)(ex))={"Failure sending mail."}
ex._innerException._message ="The remote name could not be resolved: '(localhost)'" "

I am not able to send eamil to myself from contact page..

I am specifying the following in web.config
<TheWebHouse defaultConnectionStringName="LocalSqlServer">
        <contactForm mailTo="[email protected]"/>
    </TheWebHouse>

<smtp deliveryMethod="Network" >
<network defaultCredentials="true" host="(localhost)" port="25"/>
            </smtp>


Why do I get this message??? Is it bec. I am not running MSSQL?? I closed MSSQL from computer management and now not able to start up agian..
Need Your help.
Thx

Try host="localhost"

Also, SQL has nothing to do with SMTP server, so that is not your problem.

I did as you said and this time I get a different error..

{"Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [email protected]"}
Why do I get this error?? I have this email address that I just checked...
waiting for reply
thx

Are you trying to send email messages from your local machine?

If so... Not every email accounts allow that!

If you can, try to use some gmail account!

Thank you
I tried Gmail account too and still get the errors...
Anyways, I will wait to fix this error untill I get a web hosting...I will check it later after I host it...
Now, my another problem is when I am doing health management code of chapter 3 where it asks for creating custom events in seperate asembly then the solution... How to do it?? How to create a seperate solution for main code??
I tried adding new solution and then deleted default form, added cs file named CustomEvents.cs with the code given in chapter 3, then Build the solution... I get an error saying starting Main is not found...HOw to fix it??
Am I doing it correct?? Is there any other method of doing it?
waiting for your reply..
Thanks
