How to send an email from my C# codebehind - Getting System.Net.Mail.SmtpFailedRecipientException

Question

I have a webform where someone can set up an account - I want to send them an email confirmation.

The code I\'m using:

       // Create e-mail message

OK - got it working. Below is the working coding; looks like me configuring the NetworkCredential object was the issue. Thanks everyone though for your assistance in helping me reach the solution.

        MailAddress fromAddress =  new MailAddress("OurOrganisationEmail@ourdomain.com","Our Organisation");//"name@yourdomain.com";
        MailAddress toAddress = new MailAddress("webuser@domain.com", "Web User"); //"name@anydomain.com"; 

        //Create the MailMessage instance 
        MailMessage myMailMessage = new MailMessage(fromAddress, toAddress);

        //Assign the MailMessage's properties 
        myMailMessage.Subject = "Confirmation";
        myMailMessage.Body = "You are now registered test";
        myMailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;

        //Create the SmtpClient object
        SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();

        //Send the MailMessage (will use the Web.config settings) 
        smtp.Send(myMailMessage);

web.config
