Sending form contents via mail

[compserv]

I want to add a Contact Us page which allows the user to fill out a form, and I will then build the message body from the form contents. When the visitor clicks the Submit/Send I want to use the ASP.NET SmtpMail to send it.

My questions are what do I use for the SmtpMail.SmtpServer name and does it matter what I put in the Mail.From address?

Thanks

localhost or the server's IP should be used for SmtpMail.SmtpServer.
The server checks the existence of the address before sending the emails hence a valid Mail.From address should be supplied.

Thanks Rock. Thought maybe localhost might work, but wasn't sure, hence the question. By valid, where does it check? Can I just use my email addy? eg From me and To me.

Yes, you can provide your email address within the form for the From & To value, but make sure that it [email account] is present on the server..

Brilliant. Just run a quick test and I have an email.

Thanks
