Hello All,

I am using IIS 7 on Server 2008.

I just tried migrating my app from an older platform - everything works fine, except the email feature.

This is my config:

< mailSettings >   
      < smtp from="abc@xyz.com" deliveryMethod="Network" >   
        <  network host="mail.xyz.com" port="25" userName="abc@xyz.com" password="123"    /> < / smtp  >
    < /mailSettings >

Whenever I need to send an email I use:

 SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
 smtp.Send(email);

The funny thing is I get absolutely no errors, however the email is never sent.

The outbound firewall ruleset allows SMTP traffic.

Any idea what I did wrong?
