Thanx ;-)

I configured my SMTP settings and I dont receive any error message. But the mail is not being sent. What should I do about it?

Hi,

i copy and paste all your codes and edit a little.

protected void Button1_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e)

   {

       MailMessage message = new MailMessage();

       message.From = new MailAddress("Me@Spammer.net");

       message.To.Add("testing123@hotmail.com");

       message.Subject = "Hello";

       message.Body = "Hi there!";

       message.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII;

       message.IsBodyHtml = true;

       message.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;

       SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("Localhost");

       smtp.Send(message);

   }

I realised i can only send mail when

1) The checkbox "Allow all computer which successfully auth.. .. " is checked.

2)message.From = new MailAddress("Me@Spammer.net");

 i can only use "Me@Spammer.net" and not other e-mail address .

 If i use other e-mail,No e-mail will be send.

please guide me..

thanks in advance

Actually I doing project in my school and under school network ,i cannot even send out the mail .. (Perhaps my school block it or smth. . )

I was actually keep changing the IP in the relay . . from 127.0.0.1 to my own ip address..

i got two things to clarify..

Under the Delivery tab(of SMTP option) i click on advance..

Under domain should i type in localhost or the domain(properties of my computer, computer name tab,the domain stated there ? ) of my computer?

One last thing is this statement,

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("Localhost");

do i need to change the content of "Localhost" to my ip such as  "192.168.0.3"?

or just leave it as "localhost" ?

Sorry if u find my questions annoying as i just started with c# project this semester ,that's why a lot of things i dont really understand . .

Have a nice day !

Oh ya, where can i find IIS log?

Thanks anyway =)

u are nice

This information  was verymuch useful it solved my problem

The Solution for the Error "Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Unable to relay for (name)  "  is working  Thanks a lot......

As for so many: It solved my problem. Thanks a lot ...

I have done all the things listed above, but it is still not working .i got same error

Thanks, just what I need to fix the problem.

Hi!

I receive the following message:

THE E-MAIL ADDRESS USED TO SEND MESSAGES IS NOT THE SAME AS THE ADDRESS THAT YOU AUTHENTICATED WITH (#5.7.1)

When sending message. My from address is a no-reply@mydomain.com.br (does not exists on the server).

Does anyone knows how to help me figure out this ??

Ueslei

Thank you

what can do to remove 5.7.1 error message box.......

help.....................................................

i have above code and i have complete send mail soccesfully but not recieve mail.

Thankyou very much.

This information  was verymuch useful it solved my problem.

Once more thankyou

But I tried setting the relay restrictions as described and it wouldn't work with 127.0.0.1  and the option Only the list below.  When I changed it to the option All except the list below it deleted the 127.0.0.1 from the computer list so there is nothing there now and it works fine.  The other option on the Relay Restrictions page for Allow All computer ... at the bottom is unchecked too.

First of all.. thanks a lot the fix helped me as well, but I have another problem. I don't receive the mail although I was told that the mail was succesfully send.

2nd question .. I'm going to export my project from localhost to a real life asp.net server. Is this going to work on that server to with "localhost" as server describtion or do I have to change it to the server's IP Address?

Thanks a lot..

Hi

In trying to send a simple MailMessage under the SmtpClient, I get

Request for the permission of type 'System.Net.Mail.SmtpPermission, System, Vers

ion=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

I've Googled and read the MSDN docs about the SmtpPermission class (which says the SmtpClient class demands an SmtpPermission - what does that mean?), but no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Saved me some grief

Thanks! Just what I was looking for...

Hai it's very good  this is programs is working in my local machine but how to develop in my real product server.

In trying to send a simple MailMessage, I get

Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Unable to relay for <xxx>

What will be the problem?

Is it possible to send smtp mail through proxy server?

Why isn't this more plainly stated in the documentation.  I understand that the "old way" in 1.1 wasn't as secure, but this little how-to should have been in the MS docs - or if it is, easier to find.

Hi,This is not what i was looking for// what i needed is,

If i click on a link button say "Contac Us" a window for outlook should open up with the email address i specify in the code.

Can u help

My mails are always dumped in the "Queue" folder, which means my SMTP is working fine.

But thereon the mails are never sent to the intended recipients.

Please help.

Thanks Master, I'm done

Hey  your code helped our team a lot thank you

Hi

I've followed all the instructions right at the top of this page.  The emails appear to get sent (i.e. my code doesn't break) however the emails aren't received by the recipient I specify (the recipient happens to be me for testing purposes).

Here's the code that executes succesfully:

SmtpClient theClient = new SmtpClient("localhost");

theClient.Send(message);

The emails aren't within any of the sub folders of C:\Inetpub\mailroot.

Any ideas where they are?

Thank you, that worked for me.

that worked for me, Thank you.

"And now my .NET code can spam everybody. Use with care !"

It's not that I need to send spams but not sure how it is a spam method.

Email details will show a real IP address anyway.

To all who have stucked mails in C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Queue.

The probable reason is that your ISP blocks port 25. You have to set up your ISP's SMTP server as Smarthost in your SMTP Virtual Server properties (tab Delivery -> Advanced)
