If you sent to Outlook, not from, what's the difference where you send it? You send to e-mail address, not a server or a client...

Solution 1

Why are you doing it that way. The accepted way would be like this:

C#

System.Net.Mail.MailMessage message = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
message.To.Add("emailAddress@yourPlace.com");
message.Subject = "Put a subject here";
message.From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("emailFromAddress@someplace.com");
message.Body = "Put your message here";
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient smtp = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("yoursmtphost");
smtp.Send(message);

thanks but even after doing this the mail is not delivered to my inbox...or may be im using a wrong smpthost

Possibly. Without that being configured correctly nothing will work.

Member 9291223 10-Oct-12 17:34pm

Im quite sure that im using the correct host..My host "mail.fnu.local".If im not wrong then this is the way to put down the host right..

My 5. I would be important to note: there is no such thing as "sent to Outlook". Mail is mail, one for all. :-)
