Hi,

I am using ASP.NET SmtpMail to send email using the following code

public void SendEmail(string From, string To, string Subject, StringBuilder
Message, string Attachment, string mailFormat)
{
MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage ();
mailMessage.From = From;
mailMessage.To = To;
mailMessage.Subject = Subject;
mailMessage.Body = Message.ToString ();

if(mailFormat == "T")
{
mailMessage.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text;
}
else if(mailFormat == "H")
{
mailMessage.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;
}

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "10.0.0.1";
SmtpMail.Send (mailMessage);
}

This code executes fine without error. But the email goes and sits in the
"C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Queue" folder.
SMTP service is running and cdosys.dll and cdonts.dll are installed.

My computer is connected to the internet through a Speedtouch 545 ADSL
router. I got the "10.0.0.1" by doing the ipconfig at command prompt.

Can anyone please guide me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Srinivas

replace the ipaddress with "localhost", that should fix it.

Thanks a lot Alvin. I posted this message in aspnet, csharp groups also. You
are the only one to reply. Thanks once again.

I replaced the ipaddress with localhost and I recieved the following error
and inner exception.

Could not access 'CDO.Message' object.

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by
the target of an invocation. --->
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040213): The transport
failed to connect to the server. --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

System.Web.Mail.LateBoundAccessHelper.CallMethod(Type type, Object obj,
String methodName, Object[] args) at
System.Web.Mail.LateBoundAccessHelper.CallMethod(Object obj, String
methodName, Object[] args)

Is being behind an ADSL router the cause for this error?
