seem to have encountered it.
The code is straightforward:
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(from, to, subject, body);
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("localhost");
client.Send (mail);
The code works fine on my development machine (XP Pro). When moved to
staging (2003 Server), I get the "connection closed" error. I've
confirmed the following:
-- "localhost" resolves to 127.0.0.1 (also tried using the loopback
address with the same error)
-- SMTP service is running on port 25
-- service is configured to relay mail
-- another app (Community Server) is using the service to send email
without any problems.
I'm at wit's end
TIAAs usual, this problem was resolved out not long after posting this
message. The problem was how the SMTP service was set up.
Specifically, the service has been bound to a specific IP address (not
the webserver's; see the "IP Address" dropdown in the "General" tab).
Once this was set to "(All Unassigned)". Everything worked fine.
Hopefully this message will save someone the hours of aggravation I
endured.
