Archived from groups: microsoft>public>inetserver>iis (more info?)
I have two xp machines. This is my code on machine1
Dim m As MailMessage = New MailMessage
m.From = "myFromAddr@bogus.com"
m.To = "myToAddr@bogus.com"
m.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text
m.Subject = "typeOfAction"
m.Body = "this is the body of my test email
SmtpMail.Send(m)

IIS shows a Default SMTP Virtual Server on both machine1 and machine2 but I
don't know how to address this mail to machine2. When I send it now it goes
out to my Earthlink ISP who rejects it by blocking port 25. How do I send
it to machine2 so I can look at the email as it gets received?
Thanks
G

Hello,

You need to send it to the machine running SMTP. Assuming that you do not
want to configure a local DNS server, you can simply send the emails to
someone.DeleteThis@192.168.0.1 assuming that 192.168.0.1 is a machine running SMTP.
This email will end up in the DROP folder on that machine.

my other computer is 192.168.0.147 (per ipconfig) on my local lan but it
didn't work. That machine is running smtp. However the email ended up in
my own \mailroot\queue folder as an EML file as a rejected email where I
could see what it looked like but I'm still curious why it didn't work.

If you are using the SMTP server it would log something to the event log.

Start->Run, eventvwr.msc

Any clue there?

Maybe you should look in the MSDN documentation about the SmtpMail class?

It uses the local SMTP server (unless something else is specified), so it
should log something in the event log (but maybe not in this case since it
is a relay denied error).

Anyway, the error you get back is a relay denied. So you need to configure
the local SMTP server so that you are able to relay thru it. You can for
example add the IP of your machine to the list of allowed IPs to relay.
