.NET SMTP Client - Client does not have permissions to send as this sender

Question

I\'m getting strange occurance on our servers when I am trying to send an email using SmtpClient class via an ASP MVC3 project. This is the code I am using.

Answer 1

If you are using an exchange server and the logon account and sender email are different you will got the error "does not have permissions to send...". This is because of the account permissions. You must grant "send as" permission to the logon account.
