E-mail settings in combination with IIS

Hello,

I have my mojo-portal website running on my win XP computer with IIS5.1

In the user.config and web.config i configured my e-mail settings:

User.config:

<add key="SMTPServer" value="smtp.ziggo.nl" />
<add key="SMTPRequiresAuthentication" value="false" />
<add key="SMTPPort" value="25" />
<add key="SMTPUser" value="user@home.nl" />
<add key="SMTPPassword" value="password" />

Web.config:

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="user@home.nl">
<network
host="localhost"
port="25"
password="password"
userName="user
@home.nl"
/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>


But i don't get any e-mails when somebody enters the contact-form.

Is it so that i have to set up an smtp-connection in IIS5.1 ??
Or maybe the name of the host is wrong in te web.config file? What to enter there?

Any suggestions? Thnx

Re: E-mail settings in combination with IIS

If you are just using a consumer ISP, often they block port 25 to reduce spam on their networks from infected machines, as mentioned at the bottom of this article:

Hope it helps,
