Sending EMAIL

charleshua · October 3rd, 2007, 06:03 PM

Dear all,

I am working with The Beer House project, and never get my website to send out any email.

Did any body ran into the same problem ? Could any one show me what i have to config on my "web.config" to get the mail send out?

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

Hi Charles,

See a post in my blog about E-mailing. you actually need to change a small setting on your IIS box in order for it to work :)

HTH.

Cheers,

Peter,

Thank you for your information. But it is not the solution in my case.

I am using windows vista, it appears that smtp is not included with iis.
I've reading a lot of posts regarding to this problem.
Still no luck!

Did any one get the web application send out email on windows vista?
Your entry is appreciated!

Cheer,

Charles

Ugh, yuck, blech. Vista is just Millenium, part 2 ;)

I have a copy of Vista lying at home, but haven't had the guts to install it. And the more I read about it, the less I like the idea of installing it ;)

So sorry, can't help you with that :( I run on XP, and it works there...

Found this for you though: http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofiel...ere-is-it.aspx

HTH.

I finally got it to work with windows vista and the freesmtp server
However, I ran into different problem.

I can send email to my yahoo account email
But I can't send email to my gmail.com account.

By the way, the freesmtp is kinda suck! Only 10 email a day!

Anyway, I will setup manage to deploy my project early, so that i can do some test!

Thank for all your input!
