I've used a tutorial to set up email in my MVC5 app contact form and send via email. I'm at a loss. I've tried several different options but I'm just missing something. Help much appreciated!
My mail host is rackspace and their settings are available here http://www.rackspace.com/apps/support/portal/1088.
It all works fine except i keep getting this error of the smpt.Send(MailInfo) in the SendFinalMail function.
SmtpException occurred
A first chance exception of type 'System.Net.Mail.SmtpException' occurred in System.dll
