Hello,

You would need to enable your application to send the email to the intended recipient. The settings in the web.config would be like:

<system.net>

</smtp>

</mailSettings>

</system.net>

The Network Host would be your SMTP Mail server for your hosting account.

I still have a question. (I figured out the answer to this question.) To get it working I had to set up outlook express on my development machine like the knowledge base article suggested.

Does each machine needing an email have to have outlook and the correct set up or does setting my development machine somehow effect all that access this feature?

Thanks, John

ASP.Net Website Administration Tool SMTP Settings

In visual studio 2005 I am trying to set up my website to send return emal when user forgets password. I am using all the default tools, no customization yet.

When using ASP.Net Website Administration Tool there is a SMTP Settings tab. As I understand it this information must be filled out before ASP.net can send email in response to a users request to retreive their password after they have provided the question and answer response.

What should I enter for:

Server Name:

Server Port:

From:

Authentication: (none or basic which requires sender's username and password)

Thanks John Brown
