How do I send an email from my ASP.NET website by using SMTP Authentication?

Article Number: 79 | Rating: 5/5 from 3 votes | Last Updated: Tue, May 1, 2012 at 10:42 PM

In order to send email from our mail servers, you need to allow SMTP Authentication on your code. If you host your website and your email on our server, there will be NO remote connection made between your site and your mail service on our server. Hence, you cannot use mail.yourDomain.com as the SMTP details.

Instead, you need to use localhost as the SMTP detail on your code. Our SMTP port is 25. If your ISP blocks this port, you need to contact us via our Help Desk System and we will look for an alternative SMTP port for you.
