Sending email...

[bclt]

This code is in a button:

   Dim msg As New Web.Mail.MailMessage

   'Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = my IP ???
   msg.From = txtFrom.Text
   msg.To = txtTo.Text
   msg.Subject = txtSubject.Text
   msg.Body = txtBody.Text
   msg.BodyFormat = Web.Mail.MailFormat.Text

   Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(msg)

   MsgBox("Message Sent")

Although no error appears the message is not sent.
If i remove the " ' " at smptserver and fill it with my IP (xxx.x.x.x) Error occurs.

Something's wrong here..
Tnx

err, do you have an SMTP server running on your machine?

I think nope. This is quite similar to outlook, just want to send email.

Is there an SMTP server on your network?

Tried "mailgate.otenet.gr" and Worked !!!

 

[ThatRickGuy]

yup, it helps when you specify a valid SMTP server.

I should add label "SMTP Server" and a textbox also, in case this simple app is run by an other user ?

I think that if i don't specify SMTP Server it gets it by default.... but when tried this (making it a commeent) my msgbox appears "Message sent" with no error. The email never arrives my the inbox ...

So it hasn't got it by default

The "default" will be your localhost and since you don't have an SMTP server installed on your machine you won't get the email!

HI
My problem is that my machine is behind an ISA server ...so i need to know how to activate the smtp service through ISA server

i tried assigning
Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "12.12.12.3" 'ISA IP'

but it`s always the CDO error...

so do I write code for local host server"MY MACHINE" and try to enable my local server using ISA?how?
OR
do i refer to ISA server in my code ?! what can i do ?
