I'm not sure if this is the right place to post my question, but Imar has answered all other questions so graciously.

I used the Planet Wrox code as a skeltyon for my web site and everything works fine on the local server.

I have godaddy hosting the site with email accounts. When I test it on the local server all works fine. I can send email from the contact form and sign-up form. On godaddy neither work. I used the same code in the contact form from the book and get the error message encoded in the try statement.

Here's my mail settings form the web.config file

<mailSettings>
<smtpdeliveryMethod="Network"from="Orders JB Hardwood &lt;[email protected]&gt;">
<network
defaultCredentials="true"
port="25"
host="smtpout.secureserver.net"
userName="[email protected]"
password="vette99"/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi there,

You'll need to talk to GoDaddy (or look in their documentation / FAQs) for the correct mail settings. You probably need to use a different mail server and user ID (the ones from GoDaddy).

Cheers,

Imar

Imar,

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

I got it to work after hours of frustration. GoDaddy has a special server for sending email from your web site. Something they don't make public.

Again, Thanks!
