SmtpMail may require a user name and password as well as a valid from recipient. Also, is your local IIS setup as SMTP?

SmtpMail is obsolete in .net 2.0. Maybe try using the SmtpClient instead. So... SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient( "localhost" ); client.Send( message );

i think these modifications will make it work protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { MailMessage message = new MailMessage(); message.To.Add(new MailAddress(txtTo.Text, "any user Name"); mMail.From = new MailAddress(txtFrom.Text, "any user Name"); message.Subject = txtSubject.Text; message.Body = txtBody.Text; try { SmtpClient sm = new SmtpClient(); sm.Send(message); litStatus.Text = "Your email has been sent"; } catch (Exception ex) { litStatus.Text="Error sending email"; } } } in web.config, configure smtp think this shud work
