Server Passwords

[cruiser859]

This may be a dumb question but.....

I am running a asp.net program that sends mail like (tell a friend and contact page). In the web.conf file I need to authorize the program to email through my server.

What username and password do I use to authorize the program to email through my email server. The site is digixxxx.com and of course the mail server for that site is mail.digixxxx.com.

I set up an email account just for this but that username and password doesn't work.

I get this error message: SendEmail failed:Unable to connect to mail server(s). Please specify a valid mail server, server properties, or check your network connection.


Do I have the mail server address wrong or do I need a more general username and password?

Thanks for any help.

IT can't connect to your mail server so it's not the username and password as it hasn't gotten that far yet.

Any suggestions on what I should try?

What is the typical address to the webserver?

Is it mail.website.com? Or mail.servername.com?

It's whatever you set it up to be.

My guess is, if you only have one server, it's probably going to be localhost and, depending on how you have your mail server configured, you MAY not have to provide SMTP authentication details.
