  i put the ipaddress of the webserver in the network host & my IIS is already set to (All unassigned)...but still there is an error

  is there anything to configure in my Default SMTP Virtual Server (IIS)?

  I have seen a code like this

  Dim msgMail As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
  Dim emailFromAddress As New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(emailFrom)
  Dim emailToAddress As New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(emailTo)
  Dim SmtpClient As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
  msgMail.To(0) = emailToAddress
  msgMail.From = emailFromAddress
  msgMail.Subject = emailSubject
  msgMail.IsBodyHtml = isBodyHTML
  msgMail.Body = emailMessage
  SmtpClient.Host = "ip address"
  SmtpClient.Send(msgMail)

  the problem is, it can only send emails thru our intranet emails, but if i want it to send to yahoo/hotmail, it doesnt send

  Have you tried authenticating to your mail server instead of using IIS SMTP? If not, I recommend you do that.

  That post is off topic to this thread. Please do not post off topic threads.

  [quote user="StrongTypes"]

  [quote string myMessageBody = myMessageBody.Replace(@"\r\n", "<br />");

   

  I am familiar with the string.replace function,
  but could you please explain the use of "@"

  Thanks-
  Don

  When you use a string that represents an escape character. You either need to use 2 \'s (\\) or @ in the front of a string like that.

  so that escape sequence is on the entire string?

  the equivalent would be(?) ... myMessageBody.Replace("\\r\\n", "<br />");

  Good to know-

  Thanks !

  You can also check out an article that I have published that explains the differences from ASP.NET 1.x and ASP.NET 2.0. You can get the article here: http://aspalliance.com/962

  i didnt see any thing like using system.net.mail

  or imports system.net.mail

  and u apply method instead of setting property

  mMailMessage.To.Add(New MailAddress(recepient))
