I get an error message when attempting to send an email
from my asp.net website.

I know the smtp service is running because I can send
email using another website on that machine (ASP). And
that website is using cdonts and I'm sure the mail
assemblies in dotNet use the same.

It sounds like I have a security issue but I'm unsure of
what I have to do. I've tried many things after trawling
for information on the net but nothing seems to work. Has
anyone got any ideas ?

Desperate :o/
