Is an exception being raised when it tries to send email? If so, post the exception.

Have you checked your spam folder or tried another email address?

Hey Chris

I am trying to get my personal web page starter kit working with GoDaddy and I am having the dickins of a time to set up the the web.config page BOTH on server at godaddy and my development server. Would you take sometime to share what you did to get it to work, I am stuck in a ditch.

Thanks for your help 

I am on godaddy and this works for me.

 <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp from="noreply@noreply.net">
        <network host="smtpout.secureserver.net" password="<password>" port="25" userName="noreply@domain.net"/>
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

 Remember you have to go into the control panel and create an email user or it will not work.

I just wanted to let you guys know that this was a big help...I just moved my sites over to GoDaddy, and I've been struggling today trying to use network credentials, etc. with the SMTP client and kept getting the invalid domain msesage. So I came here and voila! Problem solved. You know, you tend to think you're the only one who's ever seen the problem, then a 2-minute search on a forum like this reveals that someone's already solved the issue months ago.

THANKS!

You can find the solution for your problem at:

I just struggled through the various permutations found here and there for this to work on GoDaddy and found this to work:

1     <system.net>
2      <mailSettings>
3       <smtp from="xxxx@yyyy.org">
4        <network host="relay-hosting.secureserver.net"/>
5       </smtp>
6      </mailSettings>
7     </system.net>

I believe the difference between the above two posts is:

Settings When Hosted On GoDaddy

<system.net>
      <mailSettings>
       <smtp from="xxxx@yyyy.org">
        <network host="relay-hosting.secureserver.net"/>
       </smtp>
      </mailSettings>
     </system.net>

Settings When Hosted Externally

<system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp from="noreply@domain.net">
        <network host="smtpout.secureserver.net" password="<password>" port="25" userName="noreply@domain.net"/>
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

hi its nice to see this reply, but the problem with this relay server is,it will send only 250 emails per day,what should I do if I wantto send more than that,I thought to use gmail smtp server,and it was working very well on my pc but its not working on the godaddy server.Any help is appreciated a lot.

I believe there is a way around the 250 limitation. I recall seeing a Help file on GoDaddy that addressed that. If all else fails, call their Technical Support line (I use Skype since it's not a toll-free number). I've found them to be very helpful on practically everything.

I hope this helps ... :)  KevInKauai

Sure am glad I ran across this thread!  Thanks KevInKauai - your relay-hosting.secureserver.net FINALLY solved my Godaddy form email issue!

I am having the same problem listed above. My web.config is set like the post above.  The problem that I am having is that the smtp form speraticly works.  It works for me all the time but i have client call me eveyday telling me that my form is not working.  I have read over a hundred blogs trying to figure out why my form is not working.  I am starting to think it has somthing to do with Godaddy but im not all that sure.  Any Ideas?
