Send emails using ASP.NET & WebHost4Life.com?

Has anyone been able to send emails programattically using ASP.NET on a website hosted at for the shared hosting company WebHost4Life?

Their tech support has been anything but helpful, providing ZERO guidance on what utilities to run ON THEIR SERVERS, rather stating that they do not offer any programming support! 

I've tried using System.Web.Mail, ASPMail, and CDONTS to no avail. 

If anyone got this to work, please let me know how! 

Thanks in advance!

  • Hi, I have hosting also on webhost4life, and I have DotNetNuke, I think DNN uses System.Web.Mail (I can't say for sure I will check later) and I can send mail, but you have to use mail.webhost4life.com as Smtp Server

  • Try using mail.webhost4life.com as your outgoing mail server, with System.Web.Mail. I haven't had any problems, although I seem to remember it took me a little digging to find that server. It's set up specifically for SMTP for their clients.

  • The only problem I've had with email was trying to get email from their server back to me for automated notifications. Getting it to other people has always worked, but for some reason they have problems at time getting emails to work that are purely internal among their own servers. I've had one or two friends that had problems getting email to me, or maybe me to them, that were also on W4L -- again something internal only. They've usually been able to fix these things, but only if I'm persistent in reminding them that this is their own internal issue again and that all external email comes and goes correctly.

  • Thanks to everyone who offered their help - I really appreciate it! Changing the mail server corrected the problem! Thanks!

  • Need to set smtp "mail.yourdomain.com" and
    http://www.Webhost4life.org
    require
    SMTP authentication!
