Service sending email

[Mark]

I have a service that I've built that runs on our web server. The web
service has a reference to the System.Web namespace so it can use the
classes titled:

MailMessage
SmtpMail

My web server uses these classes just fine. I can't seem to get my service
to send email. Is there an inherent problem with sending email from a
service and/or using the System.Web namespace from a service project?

Thanks in advance.

No there isn't a problem sending email from a service, I have created
services that do just this sending hundred of messages a day in some
cases. If you are using the local IIS (i.e. not setting the SmtpServer
property) you may have a problem with permissions on the filesystem.
Have you confirmed you can send mail from a standalone (console) program
using the same settings?
