Failure sending mail

[maliksleo]

hi i am using the following class for email sending but getting this error "Failure sending mail"

Imports System.Net.Mail

Public Class MailHelper
    ''' <summary>
    ''' Sends an mail message
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <param name="from">Sender address</param>
    ''' <param name="recepient">Recepient address</param>
    ''' <param name="bcc">Bcc recepient</param>
    ''' <param name="cc">Cc recepient</param>
    ''' <param name="subject">Subject of mail message</param>
    ''' <param name="body">Body of mail message</param>
    Public Shared Sub SendMailMessage(ByVal from As String, ByVal recepient As String, ByVal bcc As String, ByVal cc As String, _
        ByVal subject As String, ByVal body As String)
        ' Instantiate a new instance of MailMessage
        Dim mMailMessage As New MailMessage()

        ' Set the sender address of the mail message
        mMailMessage.From = New MailAddress(from)
        ' Set the recepient address of the mail message
        mMailMessage.To.Add(New MailAddress(recepient))

        ' Check if the bcc value is null or an empty string
        If Not bcc Is Nothing And bcc <> String.Empty Then
            ' Set the Bcc address of the mail message
            mMailMessage.Bcc.Add(New MailAddress(bcc))
        End If

        ' Check if the cc value is null or an empty value
        If Not cc Is Nothing And cc <> String.Empty Then
            ' Set the CC address of the mail message
            mMailMessage.CC.Add(New MailAddress(cc))
        End If

        ' Set the subject of the mail message
        mMailMessage.Subject = subject
        ' Set the body of the mail message
        mMailMessage.Body = body

        'mMailMessage.Attachments.Add(New Net.Mail.Attachment(attachment))
        ' Secify the format of the body as HTML
        mMailMessage.IsBodyHtml = True
        ' Set the priority of the mail message to normal
        mMailMessage.Priority = MailPriority.Normal

        ' Instantiate a new instance of SmtpClient
        Dim mSmtpClient As New SmtpClient("localhost")
        ' Send the mail message
        mSmtpClient.Send(mMailMessage)
    End Sub
End Class

i am using my local server for testing and using local emails IDs for this instead of using gmail or yahoo that server sends email to local email IDs as i tested it through my PHP code but in asp.net case i am getting this error.
Please sugest me if some thing wrong in this code.

I'm not sure what's going on but just try something simple:

Imports System.Net.Mail

Public Class MailHelper
    ''' <summary>
    ''' Sends an mail message
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <param name="from">Sender address</param>
    ''' <param name="recepient">Recepient address</param>
    ''' <param name="bcc">Bcc recepient</param>
    ''' <param name="cc">Cc recepient</param>
    ''' <param name="subject">Subject of mail message</param>
    ''' <param name="body">Body of mail message</param>
    Public Shared Sub SendMailMessage(ByVal from As String, ByVal recepient As String, ByVal bcc As String, ByVal cc As String, _
        ByVal subject As String, ByVal body As String)
        ' Instantiate a new instance of MailMessage
        Dim mMailMessage As New MailMessage()

        ' Set the sender address of the mail message
        mMailMessage.From = New MailAddress(from)
        ' Set the recepient address of the mail message
        mMailMessage.To.Add(New MailAddress(recepient))

        '' Check if the bcc value is null or an empty string
        'If Not bcc Is Nothing And bcc <> String.Empty Then
        '    ' Set the Bcc address of the mail message
        '    mMailMessage.Bcc.Add(New MailAddress(bcc))
        'End If

        ' Check if the cc value is null or an empty value
        'If Not cc Is Nothing And cc <> String.Empty Then
        '    ' Set the CC address of the mail message
        '    mMailMessage.CC.Add(New MailAddress(cc))
        'End If

        ' Set the subject of the mail message
        mMailMessage.Subject = subject
        ' Set the body of the mail message
        mMailMessage.Body = body

        'mMailMessage.Attachments.Add(New Net.Mail.Attachment(attachment))
        ' Secify the format of the body as HTML
        'mMailMessage.IsBodyHtml = True
        ' Set the priority of the mail message to normal
        'mMailMessage.Priority = MailPriority.Normal

        ' Instantiate a new instance of SmtpClient
        Dim mSmtpClient As New SmtpClient("localhost")
        ' Send the mail message
        mSmtpClient.Send(mMailMessage)
    End Sub
End Class

If this works, start uncommenting the stuff that doesn't work to see what's causing the problem.
