Please help!!! Send email problem.

Someone please help figure this out....

I'm trying to send an email once a user registers...
The code i am using is:

Shared Function sendEmail(ByVal toEmail As String, ByVal fromEmail As String, ByVal subject As String, ByVal body As String) As String
Dim smtpServer As String = "localhost"
Try
Dim sendFrom As New MailAddress(fromEmail)
Dim sendTo As New MailAddress(toEmail)
Dim myMessage As MailMessage = New MailMessage(sendFrom, sendTo)
myMessage.Subject = subject
myMessage.Body = body
myMessage.IsBodyHtml = True
Dim emailClient As New SmtpClient(smtpServer)
emailClient.Send(myMessage)
Return "True"
Catch ex As Exception
Return ex.Message
End Try
End Function</BLOCKQUOTE>
I'm receiving an error that says "cannot get iis pickup directory"

The discountasp techsupport replied with:

"I'm not sure exactly how your web application is configured however you will need to go through your coding and insure that the application is pointing to 'e:\inetpub\mailroot\pickup' for the pickup folder."</BLOCKQUOTE>
I have no idea what he's talking about... Where in my should I be configuring this?

 

Yeah,there in no section of your code that could have caused this .You can explicitly specify Deliverymethod to 'SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network' and see if if this helps.

i.e as per your code

Dim emailClient As New SmtpClient(smtpServer)
emailClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network</font>
emailClient.Send(myMessage)
