Hi,

I am getting an exception thrown when i am trying to send mail using the
following code

Dim msg As MailMessage = New MailMessage()

msg.From = Forum + " <" + (E-Mail Removed) + ">"

msg.To = TestUser+ " <" + (E-Mail Removed) + ">"

msg.Subject = subject

If html Then

msg.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html

Else

msg.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text

End If

msg.Body = emailBodyMessage + emailBodyAppendMessage

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = mail.developer-source.co.uk

Try

SmtpMail.Send(msg)

Catch ex As Exception

Return False

End Try

I have iis installed and the SMTP server service is running, the smtp server
specified is setup as an alias on the local smtp server in iis.

Could anyone tell me why this error is occurring and any possible
resolutions to resolve this error

Thanks in advance
Neil Stevens

Hi Neil,

Errors are mostly because the ip adress of the smtp server is the wrong one
or that it has security issues.

However, when you post to a newsgroup it is better to tell what is the error
when you ask for the reason.

Here some links

The four CDOs are (in chronological order):

- CDO.DLL : CDO version 1.2.1
- CDONTS.DLL : CDO version 1.2.1 for Windows NT Server (not the same as CDO
version 1.2.1!)
- CDOSYS.DLL : CDO for Windows 2000
- CDOEX.DLL : CDO for Exchange 2000 Server


I hope this helps a little bit?
