I'm getting an System.InvalidOperationException: The SMTP host was not specified. when I try to use 2.0 password reset. I am using hashed password and  when it trys to send email with new password I getting the above error

Thanks

I believe that you need to create an entry in your web.config file for the SMTP Server you will be using; place this entry below the </system.web> tag and fill out the entries required.  You may or may not need the password and userName fields filled out if you are supplied with a SMTP server from your hosting company.

<system.net>

<mailSettings>

<smtp from="YOUR_FROM_ADDRESS_HERE">

<network host="SMTP_SERVER_NAME_HERE" password="" userName=""/>

</smtp>

</mailSettings>

</system.net>

Thanks ..that fixed it..

Hi friends,

I have a doubt here..

whighfield:

<smtp from="YOUR_FROM_ADDRESS_HERE">

<network host="SMTP_SERVER_NAME_HERE" password="" userName=""/>

If i wanna mention "from address" in textbox, how can i mention it here?

And host address what should i mention here?

Please clear my doubt..

In the passwordrecovery you can add/change this:

<MailDefinition From="info@test.com" IsBodyHtml="True"
          Subject="Uw toegangsgegevens">
      </MailDefinition>

would my email host; "smtp.orangehome.co.uk" go in the network host=?

What goes in the smtp form section, example please?

You can put it like this, i use localhost for smtp you need to change that in your smtp:

<system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp from=no_reply@test.com>
        <network host="localhost"/>
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

thanks.

That works, i don't get that error anymore.

But the purpose is still not solved. Whenever i try to send mail, its not delivered, and stored in : c:\Inetpub\mailroot\Queue

I'm running my code on - iis 5.1 on NTFS.

please help
