I am creating a banking application in asp.net v 2.0.I need to send confirmation email when a user creates the new account.
I am running the application in localhost.DO I need any special rights to send SMTP email?
provide me a proper way to send email from my application.

Do you have a SMTP server set up on localhost? Test by using telnet on the server:
telnet 127.0.0.1 25
If the server responds, try sending raw SMTP commands to send an email and trouble-shoot from there.
I find the easiest way with the Microsoft SMTP server is to disable any checks for authentication and rely on relay restrictions, then restrict relaying to 127.0.0.1.
The fact that you're running on localhost shouldn't make any difference.
As long as you have valid email server settings, and it's allowed on the system you are running on, this works just fine.
Did you try it? Did you have a problem?
I think you can sent by gmail smtp server. check this out

I have a site in digitalocean hosting and I have some problems sending email from this site.
My site built at wordpress and I'm trying to submit an application to email. It worked on my localhost and my on my server https://cp.beget.com/ but as soon as I transferred it on https://www.digitalocean.com/ it immediately stopped working.
I have a small php script for send emails and it works correctly also I tried change admin email in main wp settings but I havу not received confirm letter on my email.
Server using ubuntu and i set everything up on it for email send and tested this through postfix and it worked correctly.
Maybe someone had this problem and know how it fix
It is better to use SMTP instead of relying php's sendmail which may get blocked on some hosting companies.
You can use the Post SMTP Mailer plugin to overcome this problem.
Just create a new email account at digitalocean and use its smtp server as the outgoing server address at the SMTP plugin. Usually it will be mail.yourdomain.com. Outgoing port can be 25 or 587.
What could be possible reasons why my app cannot send emails once it's moved to the production environment?
I'm using my private e-mail address to send these emails and I learned via admin that the server is not blocking this. What would be other issues to look for?
my application needs to send out emails to its users, but somehow I can't make it work. I have installed the SMTP server and in IIS I have set SMTP to use localhost, with port 25 without authentication. But when I try to send email, I am allways getting error
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:25
When I choose the option to store email in directory, it works fine, so the problem isn't in my app. Why does this happen? The only thing I am thinking about, is if I need to have port 25 opened or not?
This would happen if you don't have an SMTP server listening on port 25.
does anyone know of a module thats available for asp.net that uses a queue to send email to an smtp server?
the queue being the operative word here.. we need a proper fallback mechanism for storing any messages that can't be sent so that the send can be re-attempted later
thanks
You can submit your messages to an IIS SMTP relay server via the Pickup Folder. This is the cheapest, and probably best, outgoing mail queue for ASP.NET.
Otherwise, you'll just need to connect to your SMTP relay server and configure its queue in whatever manner meets your business needs.
I have a section of code that sends email from SMTP server.
The code is carried out webservice & smtp server value is picked up from web.config, while the code hosted on server1 works (send/receive emails), whereas the same code hosted in server2 doesn't send/receive email.
Can you tell your thoughts?
Thanks
This really belongs on ServerFault.com, and there isn't enough information to give you a definitive answer, but I can give you my thoughts on it (as asked).
Most likely, if the SMTP server is a different server than the one your app is hosted on, then probably there is some configuration that needs to be done on the SMTP server. Usually, the SMTP server needs to grant pass-through permissions on a per-user and/or per-server basis. So, most likely your situation is that the SMTP server has an "Allow pass-through" list that includes the server where your code works, and does not include the server where the email is NOT sent.
At least, this is usually the problem in our network...
If the SMTP server is on the same server as your app, of course, you'd want to check to ensure that SMTP is installed on both servers with the same configuration.
If this fails, look for errors... In your app code, or in the event log.. .If my guesses are wrong, you're going to need more info to go on.
Finally, here is a good resource for a coder, not necessarily for an Admin, but it may have info that will help you. http://systemnetmail.com/
first thing to check is the windows firewall and if there is an antivirus or third party firewall installed on the machine.
also check the event log for some useful information about the details of the error.
