You're in the
iis smtp nntp
group:SMTP on Vista Home Premium
iis smtp nntp:
on it using Visual Studio.Net. I am developing an ASP.Net web application that sends out emails. I need to configure SMTP and I have tried several options from installing SmarterMail and Free Smtp. I was able to actually send an email using SmarterMail but it has failed when using System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message). Should I continue to try to figure out SmarterMail or is there a better way? If SmarterMail is the way to go, how do I go about configuring this?
It is the very fact that I am on the Vista operating system that I am having
this issue. You see SMTP is installed on other operating systems and is not in Vista. Please allow others that have something to contribute to respond. Thank You. [quoted text, click to view] "Mr. Arnold" <MR. Arnold@Arnold.com> wrote in message

By which I suppose you mean "using the web interface or a mail client." [quoted text, click to view] > but it has failed when using > System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message). Failed with what error? Surely you can consult the docs to see what error was returned by the SMTP server and/or the SMTP client component. [quoted text, click to view] > Should I continue to try to figure out SmarterMail or is there a better > way? If you want to develop code that is portable to a full-fledged SMTP server, then you should code against SmarterMail or something similar. This is not the place to outright recommend SmarterMail, however. [quoted text, click to view] > If SmarterMail is the way to go, how do I go about configuring this? You have to consult your mailserver logs and your mail component docs, then tell us what error(s) you are actually seeing. For example, are you allowed to relay without authentication, etc.. --Sandy
The issue is probably related to not defining the proper host in your code.
You can consult www.systemnetmail.com for examples. This site is a great resource IMO. On a side note about the 2 mail servers. I found FreeSMTP pretty straight forward to configure. I don't want my post to be about reviewing SMTP servers, FreeSMTP runs like a normal application instead of a service. If you want to continue using Smartermail, consult the vendors site at www.smartertools.com. I personally use the free version and it works well. I found it easy to configure, but I deal with email every day. At a minimum, you need to enable the delivery and SMTP service(s). These are inside the web-based admin tool. -- Steve Schofield Windows Server MVP - IIS http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofield [quoted text, click to view] "Nick" <nospam@msn.com> wrote in message

It may very well be my host definition. I will give all information I can.
This is with SmarterMail. It is running on it's own internal web with is at http://127.0.0.1:9998 First I configured the IIS7 SMTP E-Mail E-mail address: support@mydomain.com Deliver e-mail to SMTP server: http://127.0.0.1:9998 Port: 25 Authetication Settings: Not required (I'm not clear on if this should be the Smarter Mail admin username and password). Then I modified the web.config: <system.net> <mailSettings> <smtp from=support@mydomain.com> <network host="localhost" defaultCredentials="true" /> </smtp> </mailSettings> </system.net> Then I sent the email from within the web application running locally: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host Stack Trace: [SocketException (0x2746): An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host] System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Receive(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags) +1044443 System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) +119 [IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.] System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) +267 System.Net.DelegatedStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 count) +41 System.Net.BufferedReadStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 count) +96 System.Net.Mail.SmtpReplyReaderFactory.ReadLines(SmtpReplyReader caller, Boolean oneLine) +280 System.Net.Mail.SmtpReplyReaderFactory.ReadLine(SmtpReplyReader caller) +26 System.Net.Mail.SmtpReplyReader.ReadLine() +13 System.Net.Mail.SmtpConnection.GetConnection(String host, Int32 port) +802 System.Net.Mail.SmtpTransport.GetConnection(String host, Int32 port) +316 System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.GetConnection() +42 System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message) +1485 This is what is in the SmarterMail smtpLog: 06:41:36 System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoBind(EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress) at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Bind(EndPoint localEP) at TcpServerLib.Pooled.PooledTcpServer.StartListening(IPEndPoint ipEndPoint) 06:41:36 System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoBind(EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress) at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Bind(EndPoint localEP) at TcpServerLib.Pooled.PooledTcpServer.StartListening(IPEndPoint ipEndPoint) Does anything stand out here that I need to address to get SMTP up and running?

Sandy,
Thank you for your response. I modified the IIS7 SMTP E-Mail to have the SMTP Server set to 127.0.0.1. I have only one user in SmarterMail and that is "admin". The credential setup in IIS7 SMTP E-mail is that of "admin". In the mail settings of web.config, I use network host="localhost" userName="admin" password="mypassword" There is also a port settings. I have left port off completely, set it to 9998, and also tried 25. In the event viewer I always see: Event code: 3005 Event message: An unhandled exception has occurred. Event time: 8/29/2007 11:17:25 AM Event time (UTC): 8/29/2007 6:17:25 PM Event ID: 66c7688f90314ec5b9decef309ad99b3 Event sequence: 15 Event occurrence: 1 Event detail code: 0 Application information: Application domain: 2e5dc7fc-12-128328849928554765 Trust level: Full Application Virtual Path: /Commerce.Web Application Path: D:\Projects\CSK_2.0.1\CSK 2.0.1\Commerce.Web\ Machine name: NICK-PC Process information: Process ID: 4516 Process name: WebDev.WebServer.EXE Account name: Nick-PC\Nick Exception information: Exception type: SmtpException Exception message: Failure sending mail.

In the event viewer I always see: MTAs listen on port 25. You must stop getting distracted by the proprietary web UI.

You have to be ready to deal with the whole picture. People spend years knowing how to troubleshoot mail problems; you can't take the easy way out and not even *look* at both client and server.
