Hi, Imar
I'm trying to send the email to hotmail users for the member confirmation.Its successfully register the member but I didn't sends the email.
My web.config file code goes like this:

Code:

 
<mailSettings>
      <smtp deliveryMethod="SpecifiedPickupDirectory" from="Planet Wrox &lt;[email protected]&gt;">
        <specifiedPickupDirectory pickupDirectoryLocation="C:\TempMail" />
        <network userName="myEmailId"  password="mypassword" host="smtp.live.com" port="587"/>
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>

And what should be done to send email to various mail servers like Yahoo,aol I mean we are considering only single host what should be done to send to multiple host.

Hi prathoven,
I think "live" uses secure connection and you should use enableSSL = "true" inline <network> section. If it doesn't works try using port 25 instead of 587.
I hope it work's.
