Sending Mail Using .NET

[nikhilparchure]

Hi ,
I have scanning thru on topics of sending mails using
.NET. I have tried the below code for sending mails .
This issue is that mails cannot be sent.

Dim mail As New MailMessage()
mail.To = "tovalidmail@mail.com"
mail.From = "fromvalidmail@mail.com"
mail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text
mail.Subject = "Subject of this Email"
mail.Body = "Body of this message."
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost"

SmtpMail.Send(mail)

-----------------------------
Also no error is displayed but mail is nor sent

Query
1) This code is run on my home PC Win2k server
would the above code be able to send mails using the
local SMTP server on my machine Or does it require
a dedicated Exchange Server setup.

You can try the following: open the IIS console, right-click on "Default SMTP Virtual Server" and select "Properties". In "Access" tab, click on "Relay" button. In "Relay Restrictions" dialog, make sure that the "Only the list below" option is checked. Hit the "Add" button and enter the IP of local host:127.0.0.1, then hit "OK" to close both windows. See if this helps.

Be advised that the .NET SMTP classes are a wrapper around the old CDO COM object. If you use them, you'll need CDO installed too.

Thanks Guys ,
I have tried these combinations already , but am not able to send mails. Is there something special then the above settings needed to send .NET mails.
Thanks anyways would look further into this issue.

Have you checked in the C:\InetPub\MailRoot directory subfolders to see if you message appears in any of them. Maybe its getting stashed away somewhere and not actually sent?

Hei ... I'm having similar problem.. i tried this also and in the
c:\inetpub\mailroot\Queue folder I see all the emails I'm sending thru my app being queued here ..... how can I get it to be actually sent to the destination automatically from my app?
