And what error(s) are you getting with HotMail? Are your emails getting
bounced? Might the be being caught in HotMail's spam filter? Has the
recipient accidentally added you to their Blocked Senders list?

That's a well-known problem.

Many ISPs accept web mail from any source.
Hotmail isn't one of them.

You can *reply* to a Hotmail mail, but you cannot originate
mail to a Hotmail account using system.web nor system.net.

I think it has to do with their spam filter settings.

When system.web or system.net send mail, they use the machine's
name as the originator, and the sender is not authenticated.

Unless you are sending through a fully-qualified mail server name, which requires
authentication, those messages will get bounced and classified as SPAM by Hotmail.

Bottom line : don't use a simple smtp server.
Use a full-fledged POP3 mail server and authenticate the message sender.

the problem is solved by using smtp.zatoor.com instead of localhost in the
SmtpClient but now I have one problem!! when I receive the message in
Windows Live Hotmail, I get (This message has been blocked for your safety)
message with it.

what can I do?
