You don't need to configure IIS. The SmtpMail[^] class has a static property used to set the SMTP server to send mail through. You can also configure this in the web.config file in the mailSettings[^] element

You have to give a better explanation than "it doesn't work". One guess is you are using localhost as the smtp server and I doubt very much your local machine is an email server or configured as a relay. Format your code snippets when posting

I get your question, I got it the first time. Yes, you have an email address. Good for you. However, your local machine is NOT an email server. ASP.NET and IIS don't just magically route emails around the world. You NEED an email server send an email. Do you get my response? Let me repeat. Your local machine, ie localhost, is NOT an email server.

Use a valid SMTP server or configure a relay :rolleyes: Instead of continuing to post these questions why don't you spend some time researching. You have been given enough information. I'll get you started[^]
