Does anyone know what the smtp mail configuration settings are that is needed in the web.config file to send outgoing mail through a form in ASP? Thanks.

Check out this link: Yahoo POP3 and SMTP Settings

My guess is the following should work in your code (not exactly sure about credentials as I do not have an account to test with):

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();  
mail.From = new MailAddress("fromname@somewhere.com");  
mail.To.Add("toname@somewhereelse.com");  
mail.Subject = "The Subject";  
mail.Body = "Body text here";  
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;  
mail.Priority = MailPriority.High;  
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.mail.yahoo.com");  
smtp.Port = 465;  // this could be 587, not sure
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("YourYahooId", "YourYahooPassword");  
smtp.EnableSsl = true;  // SSL is required I think
smtp.Send(mail);

The key is to make sure you are using SSL and send authentication credentials. I don't think you will be able to do SSL with just the web.config mail settings. Please see this question for more information.

  • thanks, but now I recieve a SmtpException was unhandled by user code. I am not sure what this means. – jpavlov Jul 19 '10 at 23:14
  • The EnableSsl was throwing the same error, I tricked out my web.config file with the following. Now I am up and running. Thanks for the help. – jpavlov Jul 19 '10 at 23:57
  • @jpavlov If this helped you don't for get to give it an upvote or even mark it as the accepted answer :) – Kelsey Jul 19 '10 at 23:59
  • Hi Kelsey, It wasn't the enable SSL on my end, more of having the correct configuration settings on my part. See my comment above. But thanks. – jpavlov Aug 26 '10 at 15:49

SMTP_SERVER = "smtp.mail.yahoo.com"
SMTP_PORT = 587
SMTP_USERNAME = "username" // username@yahoo.com
SMTP_PASSWORD = "password"
