Hi, I'm encountering an error when sending email either by email the topic or loggin in as admin and using the email feature in the admin page. Here is the error message that I get:  The error is triggered by this code: Code:SendMail.Send( PageContext.BoardSettings.ForumEmail, ( string )row ["Email"], Subject.Text.Trim(), Body.Text.Trim() ); I tried to change the code and put some fixed values like the code below but the error is still the same Code:SendMail.Send("admin@itchytech.net", "rico@hotmail.com", "Sample", "Sample Only"); Any Idea? Thanks in advance...

Have you double checked your SMTP settings are correct? .....the man in black fled across the desert..........and the gunslinger followed.....

Hi test2005, Here is the setting of my mail.config file Code:
<!--
SMTP setup for sending of e-mails from your forum.
-->
<smtp from="mail.itchytech.net" deliveryMethod="Network">
<network host="mail.itchytech.net" password="mypassword" userName="admin@itchytech.net" />
</smtp>
Below is the error that appear when I use the email sending in admin section. Code:
Server Error in '/' Application.
The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.FormatException: The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.
Source Error:
The source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be shown when compiled in debug mode. To enable this, please follow one of the below steps, then request the URL:
1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the error. Example:
<%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %>
or:
2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.
Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.

I'd double check with your provider that the SMTP setting your using is correct and that the username has permissions to send. Have you tried sending to a different e-mail address? One without an undercore ( _ ) ? .....the man in black fled across the desert..........and the gunslinger followed.....

Code:
<smtp from="mail.itchytech.net" deliveryMethod="Network">
<network host="mail.itchytech.net" password="mypassword" userName="admin@itchytech.net" />
</smtp>
Your smtp from="" is incorrect... that is the email address that the email is coming from. Corrected: Code:
<smtp from="admin@itchytech.net" deliveryMethod="Network">
<network host="mail.itchytech.net" password="mypassword" userName="admin@itchytech.net" />
</smtp>

Hi Guys...
Thanks for the replies... I've already made necessary corrections to the mail.config and email are now working. Just a suggestion is to make the error message more intuitively related to the error in the mail.config settings...
Thanks again....
