ASPSPIDER does not let hosted websites use their mailserver. Letting people use a mailserver would lead to abuse by spammers.

When someone needs to send an email in response to someone visiting their website the solution I've seen here in the forum is to use an *.aspx file to connect to some free mail-server like google offers. I do not know if ASPSPIDER still accepts this or not.

Florencia DeLeon ,

You can use a free mail-server like google(gmail), if u already have a gmail account, you can try this code. This works fine with aspspider.

using System.Net.Mail; // use this in ur mailerform class

SmtpClient mail = new SmtpClient();
mail.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(your@gmail.com, your gmailpassword); // mail id and password to be given in double quotes
mail.Host = smtp.gmail.com;
mail.Port = 587;
mail.EnableSsl = true;
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.From = new MailAddress(your@gmail.com, ::::Harshad::::, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8); //Mail id to be given in double quotes
msg.IsBodyHtml = true;
msg.Subject = txtSubject .Text;
if(txtBody .Text !=string.Empty)
{
msg.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure;
msg.Body = txtBody .Text ;
msg.To.Add(to@gmail.com);//for testing you can give your gmail adress, the To mail id to be given id double quotes
mail.Send(msg);
lblmsg.Text = Delivered succesfully !;
}
else
{lblmsg.Text=Body cannot be blank;}

===========================================================
I tried this and this works fine, even after hosting in aspspider
