Alas, my experience has reached an end and request help. So far I’ve followed the instructions from this article https://web.archive.org/web/20211016215613/http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/080801-1.shtml . My only problem is It compiles fine but no email arrives. I have a feeling it’s for obvious reasons which escape me.

This is my aspx.vb page…………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Imports System.Web.Mail

    Protected Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

    Const ToAddress As String = "paul.ramirez@att.net"
    Dim objMM As New MailMessage("paramireze@gmail.com", ToAddress)
    Dim smtp As New SmtpClient
    objMM.IsBodyHtml = False
    objMM.Priority = MailPriority.Normal
    objMM.Subject = "Hello there!"
    objMM.Body = "Hi!" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "How are you doing?"
    smtp.Send(objMM)
end sub

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

my aspx page contains the following …w/o the parenthesis
(<%@Import Namespace="System.Web.Mail" %>)

The web.config file is as follows(unfortunately it won’t display with greater than less than symbols.

<configSections>
  <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp>
        <network host="relay-hosting.secureserver.net" port="25">
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>
</configSections>

The people at godaddy.com told me that the only information I needed was the relayServer host name which is relay-hosting.secureserver.net and username and password weren’t required.

Thanks for any help

    I think that is your problem. Change the mail server port from port 80 to port 25 in the web.config

    Try using this block of code:

    Dim objMailMessage As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage 

With objMailMessage 
    .IsBodyHtml = False 
    .From = New MailAddress("fromaddress@youremailaccount.com")   
    .To.Add("destinationaddress@whoever.com") .Subject = "Your Subject" 
    .Body = "Body Text" 
End With 

Dim objSMTPClient As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("relay-hosting.secureserver.net", 25) 
objSMTPClient.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials
objSMTPClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network 
objSMTPClient.Send(objMailMessage)

    Here is the thread and some other examples as well. It also sounds like there is a godaddy setting somewhere, but I don’t remember having to change anything on my end.
