Hi, I'm encountering an error when sending email either by email the topic or loggin in as admin and using the email feature in the admin page. Here is the error message that I get: [IMG]http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii119/TrigunMike/emailerror.jpg[/IMG] The error is triggered by this code: [code]SendMail.Send( PageContext.BoardSettings.ForumEmail, ( string )row ["Email"], Subject.Text.Trim(), Body.Text.Trim() );[/code] I tried to change the code and put some fixed values like the code below but the error is still the same [code]SendMail.Send("admin@itchytech.net", "rico@hotmail.com", "Sample", "Sample Only");[/code] Any Idea? Thanks in advance...

Have you double checked your SMTP settings are correct?

I'd double check with your provider that the SMTP setting your using is correct and that the username has permissions to send. Have you tried sending to a different e-mail address? One without an undercore ( _ ) ?

[code] [/code] Your smtp from="" is incorrect... that is the email address that the email is coming from. Corrected: [code] [/code]

Hi Guys... Thanks for the replies... I've already made necessary corrections to the mail.config and email are now working. Just a suggestion is to make the error message more intuitively related to the error in the mail.config settings... Thanks again....
