  sending an email from localhost

  Dec 22, 2012 02:56 PM|LINK

  Hi

  I have troubles in code behind, I need to send an email after clicking a button. But my host is localhost now, and I am getting an error...

  I will type here some parts of codes, and if you'll see what is wrong, please help me.

  This is written in my button click event:

  System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient _smtpClient = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();
  _smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);

  and this one in my .config file:

  <system.net>
   <mailSettings>
   <smtp> 
   <network host="127.0.0.1" port="25" />

  The error is that the target computer's reject the request

  You need to have installed IIS and SMTP server on your PC

  Write this code in web.config file

  <system.net>
         <mailSettings>
              <smtp deliveryMethod="SpecifiedPickupDirectory">
                  <specifiedPickupDirectory pickupDirectoryLocation="D:\MyTest"/>
              </smtp>
         </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

  Also check this link for sending emails using "SmtpClient()"
