I can't send mail in umbraco

Question

As the title says I can't seem to send mail through an umbraco form.

I have created a user control with the following code in it:

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

mail.From = new MailAddress(txtEmail.Text);
mail.To.Add("xx@xx.com");
mail.Subject = "Ny Notat bestilling"
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;

msg.Subject = ddlSubject.Text;
//"<b>Bestilling: </b>" + ddlSubject.Text + "<br/>" +
mail.Body =
    "<b>Navn: </b>" + txtName.Text + "<br/>" +
    "<b>Adresse: </b>" + txtAdress.Text + "<br/>" +
    "<b>Postnummer/By: </b>" + txtZip.Text + "<br/>" +
    "<b>E-mail: </b>" + txtEmail.Text + "<br/>" +
    "<b>Telefon: </b>" + txtPhone.Text + "<br/>" +
    "<b>Set tilbudet i: </b>" + txtMessage.Text + "<br/>" +
    "<b>Evt. Besked: </b>" + txtMessage.Text + "<br/>";

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();

smtp.Send(mail);

This is my web.config settings:

 <system.net> 
   <mailSettings> 
    <smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="xx@xx.com">
      <network host="127.0.0.1" />
    </smtp>
   </mailSettings> 
 </system.net> 

This is my exception trace:

    System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Failure sending mail. ---> 
System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server --->

Notat.dk.UserControls.OrderForm.btnSubmit_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in c:\Users\DEO1\Desktop\Notat.dk Nyeste - Backup\UserControls\OrderForm.ascx.cs:line 55

What I don't understand is why it says I have a problem with port 587? Seeing as I I'm not using gmail smtp configurations.. (All though I started out using it, but removed it again) Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

Answer 1

You need to configure hotmail server not localhost 127.0.0.1

<network host="smtp.live.com" />
