SmtpMail works for logged on user but not asp.net on Windows XP

[John Lau]

Hello,

I am sending an email using System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail to send mail. This
works fine when I am debugging in VS.Net, but fails when I am running from a
browser. The error message is:

Cannot open log for source {0}. You may not have write access.

When I comment out the SmtpMail.Send statement, the error goes away. What
permissions am I missing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
John

Hey,

It was because my SmtpServer was not set properly. What a strange error.
