Ref: CH 16, Sending Confirmation E-Mail with CreateUserWizard

Can I ask if it is common to receive an error:

Server Error in '/' Application
An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions 98.139.211.125:25

and if this error is a restriction placed by my normal email server (Yahoo) or if I entered some code setting incorrectly?

Thanks

You may have to specify a port for Yahoo as well: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN4724.html

Your error seems to suggest you're connecting on the default port 25, so try specifying a port number as shown on page 323.

Cheers,

Imar

Getting the port correct solved the problem.
