  any code snippet to allow the e-mail to be sent from beerhouse project?

  Dec 10, 2008 04:52 AM|LINK

  Hello;

  I've tried running the program to recover a password and it says the password has been sent but it never is when I check the various email accounts I've tried as a fictional user.

  Is there some code snippet I need to insert somewhere for the project to send e-mail? I've got my IIS relay set to 127.0.0.1. That doesn't seem to help.

  Its always great to see a sample project. Hopefully it will give me an idea what to do with the beerhouse project.

  I'm surprised that if there is a simple solution in those samples, that it isn't included in the beerhouse project?

  Don't worry, full email functionality is implemented in TheBeerHouse.

  There is a section in web.config that looks something like this:

    

  <mailSettings>
     <smtp deliveryMethod="PickupDirectoryFromIis" from="thebeerhouse@wrox.com">
  	<network defaultCredentials="true" host="(localhost)" port="25"/>
     </smtp>
  </mailSettings>

   You just need to configure your local IIS SMTP mail server to send mail.One of the examples above may help you on that.
  

  You may also have to set from= to a real mail address, and depending on your ISP, you may have to use port 587 instead of 25.

   I read on another forum, that being unable to send the email sometimes only happens in developement stage and that once its actually published to a host, it works. Could that be the case here since I haven't published this to a server? I was going to use some host that was cheap, maybe godaddy.

  Apparently I don't have my local IIS SMTP mail server configured correctly to send email. Would I still have to do that once it was published to a web host?

   You only need to configure your local IIS SMTP if you want to test email sending locally, without publishing to a production server first.
  

  Once it's hosted, then whatever you have on your local server won't matter.

   By the way, if you want to test it locally and still don't want to mess with IIS, you can easily configure a gmail account to send your mail from your local application. A lot of people do this; it's pretty convenient.

   Someone else told me about gmail so I set up an email account there but just putting that address in the code alone  didn't work. Is this configuration something I do on Gmail? I guess I didn't do it right. Do you know a link that shows how to do that?

  <system.net>
     <mailSettings>
        <smtp from=your_gmail_email@gmail.com>
           <network host="smtp.gmail.com" password="your_gmail_password" port="587" userName="your_gmail_email@gmail.com"/>
        </smtp>
     </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

    You will also have to set the mail client up to use SSL in whatever code you use to send mail.

  In a built-in control, you do that by handling the SendingMail event.

  For example, for CreateUserWizard control:

   

  protected void CreateUserWizard1_SendingMail(object sender, MailMessageEventArgs e)
     {
        SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
        smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
        smtpClient.Send(e.Message);
        e.Cancel = true;
     }

   I finally got it to work. Thanks! [:)]
  

  I had to use port 25 tho. The other gave me a rejection.. something about actively rejecting it.
