hello every body
I have a problem..and I could really need some help..

I am trying to send email from localhost...
I am using the following code

System.Net.Mail.MailMessage obj = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
                System.Net.Mail.MailAddress Toaddress = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("myReciever@hotmail.com");
                System.Net.Mail.MailAddress fromAddress = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("myFrom@hotmail.com", "Sender");
                obj.To.Add(Toaddress );
                obj.From = fromAddress;
                obj.Subject = "trial mail";
                obj.Body = "hello from localhost this is me";
                obj.IsBodyHtml = true;
                SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();      
                client.Host = "localhost";
                client.Port = 25;
                client.Send(obj);

and I configured iis and smtp server to work...[added 127.0.0.1 ip to smtp properties/access tab>relay widow]

but I got no exception and yet NOTHING is sent...

I dunno about the code you posted (I haven't tried to do anything with SMTP on .NET programs yet) but I do know that a lot of SMTP servers (on the receiving end) won't accept mail from just any SMTP server. Try setting up the program to use a known SMTP server for sending the mail and see if your mail comes through. I know a lot of places are getting tougher on taking mail from an unverified SMTP server due to spam, etc.

No problem, I'm glad to help. I had been writing a program a while back to send myself an email if something happened and spent almost a week trying to figure out why the emails weren't arriving... so I understand how frustrating it can be

Good luck!
