SmtpMail Send Error: smtp.Send fail

I have a form with the following fields:

UserEmail
Subject
Body

When the form is submitted, the email is processed fine. When I try
to add another field to the mm.body (mm.Body = Body.Text &
Listbox1.SelectedItem.Text) the smtp.Send fails. Any ideas ?

Code:

'(1) Create the MailMessage instance
Dim mm As New Net.Mail.MailMessage(UsersEmail.Text, ToAddress)

'(2) Assign the MailMessage's properties
mm.Subject = Subject.Text
mm.Body = Body.Text & TextBox1.Text
mm.IsBodyHtml = False

'(3) Create the SmtpClient object
Dim smtp As New Net.Mail.SmtpClient

'(4) Send the MailMessage (will use the Web.config settings)
smtp.Send(mm)
End Sub

</script>Does the server have smtp

if not you need to tell smtpclient where to find one

Dim message As New MailMessage("sender@dotnet.itags.org.address", "from@dotnet.itags.org.address", "Subject",
"Message Text")

Dim emailClient As New SmtpClient("Email Server Name")

emailClient.Send(message)

sorry did not read your post correctly

try writing

response.write(Body.Text & Listbox1.SelectedItem.Text)

see what you get

I tried the response.write and I get a valid text string. When I try
to use Body.Text & Listbox1.SelectedItem.text togethor I get the
following failure:

Exception Details: System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Service not
available, closing transmission channel. The server response was:
Command timeout, closing transmission channel

It's almost as if the server is timing out.

I put the Try Catch block around the script and it worked. Why would
adding a try catch eliminate the problem?

Well...I guess I do not understand the Try/Catch. The page did not
error out, but the email was never sent as well.
The point of the try catch is this

Try

Your Stuff

Catch ex as exception

'// Look at your exception message here, it will give you more
information

End Try

Hi,

First of all, check if it's a code problem, or if it is a network /
permissions issue, try to send and e-mail using telnet:

http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2.../14/428324.aspx
If you cannot send an e-mail using this, just grab the network admin and
have a chat with him.

I have compiled good info about SMTP and .net (FAQS and Articles):

Good luck

This error seems not to be related to your text string, but to do with smtp
not being available.
make sure you have smtp working and tell smtp client what computer it is on

Dim emailClient As New SmtpClient("Email Server Name")

Thank you very much. The SMTP server I use is on a remote system. Is
there a way to use the "telnet localhost smtp" command with my remote
smtp proivider?

The smtp server is smtp.infosaic.com.

Thanks

P.S. Nice Blog
it would be

telnet hostname or ip 25

then begin the smtp protocol

I have downloadable examples there.

See if you can get that to work, then work backwards from the example.

There are 3 different authentication modes for smtp. Maybe that's your
issue.
Look at the sample code to see what I mean by authentication modes.

You are trying to mix my custom solution with the "out of the box"
configuration setup.
