Sending Automatic Email

I have an online app via webforms. When the user completes the final step...I would like the app to automatically send an email to a specific individual. I'm using the following code:

Imports System.Web.Mail
....
Dim Mail As New MailMessage
Mail.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
Mail.Subject = "Howdy"
Mail.From = "(e-mail address removed)"
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost"
SmtpMail.Send(Mail)

I get this Error Message:
The server rejected one or more recipient addresses. The server response was: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for (e-mail address removed)

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks
 
I would check to make sure in IIS under Default SMTP Virtual
Server->Properites->Access->Relay that you have added 127.0.0.1 to that
list. (I don't believe this was necessary with Win2K Pro, but is with XP
Pro)

HTH,
Greg
 
That worked...thanks. BUT...the email sits in the Queue. How do I get it to send?
