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
           


        

Answer 1

I'm guessing this is because your website is not running under a domain account. A lot of mail servers don't allow anonymous users send email.

You could try creating a service account that's in the domain and set the application pool up to run under that service account.
