SMTP Settings in Web.Config

Hi!

I'm trying to write a function that will send an e-mail message. I've done this many times in ASP, so I copied the SMTP information that I would usually use to the web.config file:


  <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp>
        <network userName="webmaster@visitmychurch.tv" password="******"/>
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

Whenever I try to send a message, this is the error response:


Error: System.InvalidOperationException: The SMTP host was not specified.
 at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.CheckHostAndPort()
 at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message)
 at CMSTemplates_AuroraChapel_AJAX.GetDate()

Any ideas? Idk how else to setup the credentials for SMTP.

Thanks!

-Eric

RE:SMTP Settings in Web.Config

Hi Eric,

You'll need to set up an SMTP host in your web.config file - try the following (this is assuming that your smtp host is "smtp.visitmchurch.tv" and its smtp port is 25):

<system.net>
  <mailSettings>
    <smtp from="webmaster@visitmychurch.tv">
      <network host="smtp.visitmychurch.tv" port="25" userName="webmaster@visitmychurch.tv" password="******"/ />
    </smtp>
  </mailSettings>
</system.net>

Member	jgriffith-nfusion - 2/13/2012 3:08:21 PM RE:SMTP Settings in Web.Config Which web.config file does this go in? I see several littered throughout the codebase. I am also using ASPX templates if that makes a difference.
