chapter 9... Sending email msg

argonzal · April 21st, 2011, 01:34 AM

Hello there,
I'm having trouble finishing the try out: Sending e-mail messages.
Once I try this in the browser it shows the following error:
Can some one help me with this please?
Thanks

Server Error in '/' Application.

I checked the web.config and it looks like this
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="argonz <[email protected]>">
<network host="smtp.live.com" userName="[email protected]" password= "******"
port="25" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>

Hi there,

I don't know the exact specifics of live.com, but I think it requires SSL and port 587. This means you'll need to modify the code and set EnableSsl to true as explained in the book. In addition, you need to set the port in the web.config file.

If that doesn't fix it, take a look here:

http://www.google.com/#q=asp.net+sen...tp.live.com%22

You'll find a bunch of articles related to sending mail with Live.com that may help.

Hope this helps, and if not, let me know.

Cheers,

Imar

Imar,

First I wanna say that I enjoy reading and practicing the try outs from your book; with that said.
The link you shared with me was helpful. I was getting stuck in the step where we need to send the info in the "contact us" page. (p316) But I found good help in that link.
This is how my code in web.config ended like: Apparently it didn't work with hotmail.com then I switched to gmail.com

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="Argonz <[email protected]>">
<network host="smtp.gmail.com" userName="[email protected]" password= "*****"
port="587" defaultCredentials="false" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

Regards
Thanks again...
