Here is the C# Version

System.Net.Mail.MailMessage eMail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
eMail.IsBodyHtml = true;
eMail.Body = body;
eMail.From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(fromEmail);
eMail.To.Add(toEmail);
eMail.Subject = subject;
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient SMTP = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();

SMTP.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("user","pass");
SMTP.Host = "localhost";
SMTP.Send(eMail);

How do I use this code? I am currently using Google Apps for my email. What do I need to do to get this setup? I've tried a bunch of different things, including adding a user to my arvixe email accounts.

I see in my Webmail settings the Incoming/Outgoing host name is localhost. Shouldn't this be along the lines of smtp.<domainname>?

I tried this code for C# and I get an Unable to connect to the remote server exception. Do i replace localhost with an smtp server? I set up my SMTP username and password in my webmail.

Is it possible to use PickupDirectoryFromIis delivery method? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.mail.smtpdeliverymethod.aspx

Credentials username should be the full email address, not just the user:
SMTP.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]","pass");

NOT
SMTP.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("user","pass");

Or you can setup the credentials / send host in your web.config file:

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="[email protected]">
<network host="yoursmtp.email.com" userName="[email protected]" password="yourpassword" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

Trying to get mvc.net sending emails to work, however I cannot get the connection working properly.

I have the following at the moment:-

<smtp from="username">
<network host="mail.rosebloom.arvixe.com" userName="username" password="password" />
</smtp>

This is not sending out emails at the moment

Any help?

I've gotten this working using Framework 4.0, but was curious about the use of a specific port, such as 465 for SSL?

When I've added the following code I always time out. Am I missing something?
('client' is my local SmtpClient object name, previously created and configured)
client.Port = 465;
client.EnableSsl = true;

Anyone have any thoughts about this?

Hi, I've a problen sending email.
In localhost works fine, but when I publish the web in the server, i receive this error:

msg.From = new MailAddress(remitente, "OFERSALUD", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
msg.Subject = "Invitación a ofersalud";

msg.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;

msg.Body = "holaaaa";// emailHtml.ToString();

msg.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();

client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "xxxxxx");
client.Port = 25;
client.Host = "smtp.live.com";
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.Send(msg);

HELP!
i am trying to update my web.config file to reflect my new marketing class email host info. but have no idea where the code you guys are suggesting would go. of course i am not a programmer but can make minor changes. i can not afford to have a real programer update this for me. can anyone suggest how i would update this file? i seem to be missing half of the fields that all of you are using above........

CURRENT CODE
<add key="MailServer" value="localhost" />
<add key="MailUser" value="[email protected]" />
<add key="MailPassword" value="-----------" />

Just thought I'd post this as I had difficulties connecting mail. Setting hosts and ports does not seem to work. This was the code I finally got going.

MailMessage message = new MailMessage(FROM_EMAIL_ADDRESS, TO_EMAIL_ADDRESS, "Test Connection", "This is the body of the test email");

var smtpClient = new SmtpClient(YOUR_HOST);
smtpClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(USER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, PASSWORD);
smtpClient.Send(message);
