Hi,
I have made some changes in your code try this.

protected void submit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();

MailAddress fromAddress = new MailAddress("[email protected]");

msg.From = fromAddress;

msg.To.Add (txtEmail.Text.Trim());

msg.Subject = txtLast.Text.Trim();

msg.Body = txtComment.Text.Trim();

SmtpClient smpt = new SmtpClient();

smpt.Host = "localhost" ;

smpt.Send(msg);

}

It is better if you don't have your own domain to use the one from your webmail server unless it is free but does not provide a free smtp server. You can use 'localhost' which is port '25' if you have IIS6 or IIS7 installed. If you are just using it for yourself, create it in a winform with the first being the set up for the SMTP so that you don't have to hard code anything but store it in variables and save the data using System.IO.StreamWriter and call it back with StreamReader in another form for the actual Message Page like in OutLook style with Attachment options. I have already done this with POP3 also. Better code practice and routine. The more short cuts you use will lower robustness of the program. Write code.

string sendto = txtEmail.Text; string recipient = recipient.Text; MailAddress from = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "yourname"); MailAddress to = new MailAddress(sendto, recipient); msg.Subject = txtLast.Text; (no Trim() needed) msg.Body = txtComment.Text; (no Trim() needed) msg.IsBodyHtml = false; SmtpClient smpt = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com, 465 (or) 587); "Remember gmail requires SSL" client.EnableSsl = true; "Set your credentials for authentication" client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential (userName, pswrd); smpt.Send(msg); Here are some things to remember because not every one uses gmail as SMTP, must do not require SSL to be enabled. Also here is the method for you to retrieve the actual IP of pop,imap,smpt,... + domain IPHostEntry hostEntry = Dns.GetHostEntry(host); IPAddress[] ipAddresses = hostEntry.AddressList; not if you call ipAddress[0].ToString() so that you can see it in a textbox, it will give you the full IP for whatever host. If it is for smtp, remember to put the 'smtp.' before the domain for the host.
