send email in ASP.net2.0

[Guest]

Hello,

I've been having a prlbem sending an email using ASP.net 2.0 I can send an
email if “To†address is hotmail, gmail or yahoo but not other addresses.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this problem?

Thank you very much in advance,
Chieko

Sounds like your mail provider only allows you to route to those type of
addresses from the web server. Why dont you ask them to look into it for
you?

You can try another SMTP server. This is not necessarily to user your
provider's server.

I tried that but I have a same result. Now my co-worker told me to add the
following code in web.config.

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="PickupDirectoryFromIis">
<network host="host.com"
port="25"
defaultCredentials="true" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

But I got the error "System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Cannot get IIS pickup
directory.
at System.Net.Mail.IisPickupDirectory.GetPickupDirectory()
at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message)"

I can't figure out why I get the error even though I am using the exactly
same code. Does anyone know what's going on?

Thank you very much in advance,
Chieko

You're missing some code.

Thanks for people who gave me suggestions. It turned out that " <identity
impersonate="true"/>" in web.config gave me the error. I don't know why it
causes the error, but it works fine after I deleted the line.
