sendmail smtp not working

Question

Hi all,

I have a web application running on my VS2008 test server; this application has been work fine, when publishing to a IIS 6 running on our local network and everything worked fine. After deploying to a 3rd party server, the System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient doesn't work any longer (i.e. getting some timeout exception) using the same smtp configuration in web.config:

I've also changed the port settings (defaulting to 25), without any effect! Help urgently needed,

Reinhard

Check that you 3rd party server has access to the SMTP server you want to use.

Also please publish your error message to help people help you.
