Sending emails to hotmail via web forms

Question

User-709623068 posted

I am trying to create a web form that takes a users email address and then sends them a confirmation email. The problem I am having is that all other email address (that I have tested) work, except for hotmail accounts. Is this a known issue? I have created a few brand new accounts on hotmail just to test them, and still nothing. I have configured the mail server, and will post the code I am using to send the email. Thanks:

 

protected void btnEmail_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string fromAddress = "[e-mail]";
        string fromName = "Todd";
        string toFirstName = txtFirstName.Text;
        string toLastName = txtLastName.Text;
        string toAddress = txtEmailAddress.Text;
        string subject = "CDONTS Exercise";
        string body = string.Format("Thank you {0} {1} for letting us send you this email.", toFirstName, toLastName);
        MailAddress fromAdd = new MailAddress(fromAddress, fromName);
        MailAddress toAdd = new MailAddress(toAddress);
        MailAddress ccAdd = new MailAddress(fromAddress);
        MailMessage msg = new MailMessage(fromAdd, toAdd);
        msg.Subject = subject;
        msg.Body = body;
        msg.IsBodyHtml = true;
        msg.Priority = MailPriority.High;
        //msg.CC.Add(ccAdd);

        SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
        client.Send(msg);

        string confirmMessage = "An email has been sent to you.";
        lblConfirmMessage.Text = confirmMessage;
        lblMessage.Text = body;
    }
