Until recently, I was able to send e-mails running my ASP.NET app
locally in debug mode. Recently I got XP Service Pack 2, and notice
now I can't send emails from localhost. Is this svc pack 2 security
related? Can I set something in Windows firewall to re-enable my
ASP.NET apps to send mail?
 
i have had similar problems also. what i've noticed is that when
running on iis enabled box, not specifying the SmtpServer works but on
a non-iis box, you need to specify the SmtpServer to get mails
through. weird but it works for me. I would like to know how to make
it work everywhere but i haven't found anything yet. post back if you
find a solution.
