Imaar,

Great book! I just wanted to bring up an issue I ran into when trying to send e-mail. I am writing the code on my home computer and tried to use "localhost" as my host name. Although the IIS manager allows you to configure smtp, on Vista, smtp is not supported. Therefore, when I tried to run the code, it didn't work. In order to send e-mails using Vista, you need to use a different server.

Hope this is helpful.

Dave

Hi Dave,

Glad you like the book.

Did you look at page 308 and onwards? I spend a couple of paragraphs explaining how to configure the mail server and which one to use (preferable the one your ISP provides and the one you use for normal mail as well).

In many respects, it's better / safer not to have a local SMTP server....
