How to configure SMTP settings in web config

Question

I m trying to fix an email issue with an inherited website and don t have access to the code  i e  just the compiled files   This site needs to be hosted on a new web server having a different SMTP server  Upon decompiling bits of the code I can see emails are sent using method like below in code snippet and SMTP is set as smtpMail SmtpServer  quot localhost quot  but my new webserver s SMTP server is  quot relay tagadab com quot  how can we possibly configure this in web config so that localhost is taken as  quot relay tagadab com quot  Imports Microsoft VisualBasic  System Web Mail  Shared Sub SendMail ByVal ToAdd  ByVal FromAdd  ByVal Message  ByVal Subject       Dim msgMail As New MailMessage        msgMail To   ToAdd     msgMail From   FromAdd     msgMail Subject   Subject     msgMail Headers Add  quot X-Mailer quot    quot ASP NET quot        msgMail BodyFormat   MailFormat Text     msgMail Body   Message      SmtpMail SmtpServer    quot mail the-radiator com quot      SmtpMail SmtpServer    quot localhost quot      SmtpMail Send msgMail   End Sub  I added this section in my web config but that does not make a difference  lt system net gt       lt mailSettings gt           lt smtp gt               lt network host  quot relay tagadab com quot  port  quot 25 quot    gt           lt  smtp gt        lt  mailSettings gt   lt  system net gt

Set IIS to forward your mail to the remote server   The specifics vary greatly depending on the version of IIS  For IIS 7 5    Open IIS Manager Connect to your server if needed Select the server node  you should see an SMTP option on the right in the ASP NET section Double-click the SMTP icon  Select the  Deliver e-mail to SMTP server  option and enter your server name  credentials  etc

I don t have enough rep to answer ClintEastwood  and the accepted answer is correct for the Web config file  Adding this in for code difference     When your mailSettings are set on Web config  you don t need to do anything other than new up your SmtpClient and  Send  It finds the connection itself without needing to be referenced  You would change your C  from this   SmtpClient smtpClient   new SmtpClient  smtp sender you   Convert ToInt32 587    System Net NetworkCredential credentials   new System Net NetworkCredential  username    password    smtpClient Credentials   credentials  smtpClient Send msgMail       To this     SmtpClient smtpClient   new SmtpClient    smtpClient Send msgMail
