why is this email not sending

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

setting up the email to send email when a button is clicked

check it out, no errors but no email either


Code:
Private Sub CompRegConfirmation()

Dim msg As New MailMessage

msg.From = "localhost"

msg.To = "[email protected]"

msg.Subject = " Company registered"

msg.Body = txtUsername.Text

msg.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost"

SmtpMail.Send(msg)

End Sub


i call this then in a button click event
compregconfirmation()

no joy

What error are you getting?

[Techno]

i bet its the typical CDOSYS (or something like that) error msg...

My first thought was that he didn't have SMTP services running or something. I tried the code the way he pasted it and couldn't get it to work using localhost either. Once I named the SMTP server it worked fine. There must be a way to do it like that but I couldn't come up with the right way off the top of my head.

I didn't go that far into it or post more details because I wanted to know the error he was getting first.
