Hi, Imar
I'm trying to send the email to hotmail users for the member confirmation.Its successfully register the member but it 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 there,

Take a look at your config settings. You're dropping the e-mails as .eml files in the folder C:\TempMail, and you're not sending them over SMTP to a real recipient.

The recipient is unrelated to the mail server you configure here. When you configure Yahoo, you use Yahoo's mail server to send out the mail to a recipient; this means you can send mail to whoever you want; but just use Yahoo's mail server as the outgoing mail server.

Hope this helps,

Imar
