smtpmail.send

I'm trying to expand my horizons here by working through an ASP.Net book.
When I do the example that uses:

Line 55: Mail.From = "feedback@dotnet.itags.org.graymad.com"
Line 56: SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost"
Line 57: SmtpMail.Send(Mail)

I get:

[COMException (0x8004020f): The server rejected one or more recipient
addresses. The server response was: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for
myemail@dotnet.itags.org.comcast.net
]

Since both my code and the code from the book failed, I'm assuming there's
something else I need to configure? I show SMTP running under services so
there must be something else I need to do here. The remainder of the
exception follows. Thanks

hi,
the possible reason could be that your mail server is not configured to
relay messages from your smtp server or you or the from address does not have
permissions to relay messages. Make sure your mail server allows relaying of
messages from your smtp server or instead try SmtpMail.SmtpServer = ""
instead of localhost and check if it works
