hi all, im trying to setup an automatic email when a user registers on my site. coding it is easy but im having real trouble setting up the smtp on IIS, i've tried for three days to get it working, and ive gone through NSLOOKUP Telnet and various other routes Ive also installed CDONTS to no avail can anyone point me in the right direction to sort this out? Basically what happens is that all mails get sent to the queue and nothing happens!!! its really frustrating! Thanks for your help! Jetset

Are you using the System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail class? If so, have you configured the SmtpServer property prior to sending your message? Have you provided a fully qualified domain or smart host in IIS (on the Delivery tab under Advanced)? There's really not too much involved in setting up mail delivery, although it's not very user-friendly, and a little cryptically documented. Good luck!
The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' ('I found it!') but 'That's funny...’

yes, im using the system.web.mail.smtpmail class and the smtp server is set to my localhost , im not sure this is right? and my fully qualified domain name is my computer name i.e. exmple-932ddc the way im testing it is by using notepad to save a email test in pickup, it just gets sent straight to the queue folder! any ideas? cheers
