Error sending mail with System.Web.Mail

Question

An older application using System.Web.Mail is throwing an exception on emails coming from [email protected]. Other addresses appear to be working correctly. We changed our mail server to Exchange 2007 when the errors started, so I assume that is where the problem is. Does anyone know what is happening?

Here is the exception and stack trace:

System.Web.HttpException: Could not access 'CDO.Message' object. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040212): The transport lost its connection to the server.

Answer 1

Does you client's host machine have permission to send mail via the Exchange Sever?

Here's a tutorial for diagnosing those exceptions (a very common one with a lot of meanings).
