SmtpMail

[Guest]

Hi. I have the following code which sends an e-mail from my asp.net
application. This works fine on my localhost, but when I run this from the
server I get an "Access Denied" Message. What do I need to do to run this
successfully from my server? Thanks.

Private Sub btnSend_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnSend.Click

Dim MsgFrom As String = "(e-mail address removed)"
Dim MsgTo As String = "(e-mail address removed)"
Dim MsgBody As String = Me.txtBody.Text & " " &
Request.QueryString("SupportInfo")

SmtpMail.Send(MsgFrom.Trim, MsgTo.Trim, Me.txtSubject.Text.Trim, _
MsgBody.Trim)

End Sub


Error:
ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider
granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity.
ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or
Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not
impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity
impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically
IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

the user that the site runs under needs access to the smtp folders

Curt_C, What folders exactly are you refering to? Where would these folders
be located? Thanks for your help!

they are on the server in the MailRoot, under the InetPub

Actually I've verified that the permissions were in place, and I've found
that the problem was that I needed to specify
SMTPMail.SMPTServer = "Server IP Address"

Thanks for your help.
