Ok i am having a few issues with some STMP code we have in production. I have narrowed these issues down to (among other things) McAfee...
Anywho..... that is not what i am posting about...
As i am testing, when i disable McAfee and directly connect to the exchange server like so:
--------------------------
----------
----------
----------
----------
----------
----------
----------
----------

public static void SendMail(string from, string recipients, string subject, string body)
{
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.To = recipients;
mail.From = from;
mail.Subject = subject;
mail.Body = body;
mail.Fields.Add("
http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate", "1");
mail.Fields.Add("
http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername", "username");
mail.Fields.Add("
http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword", "password"); SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "XX.XX.XX.XXX";
SmtpMail.Send(mail);
}
--------------------------

... my email gets set and all is good...
My issue is that most of the mail code in production do NOT use this class and instead (i guess) uses default setting. Here is the code in production:
--------------------------
----------
----------
----------
----------
----------
----------
----------
----------
----------
------
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.To = "you@you.com";
mail.From = "me@me.com";
mail.Subject = "Mail Subject"
mail.Body = "Mail body"
SmtpMail.Send(mail);
--------------------------
----------
----------
----------

----------
----------
----------
----------

------
This i assume uses the default SMTp server setup on the local web server that it is running from... Right?
If that is the case then why is it that when i stop the IIS SMTP server this code still sends out mail... What SMTP server is it using to send the mail if the local is disabled?
To clarify, what i need to knwo is what is the default for the mail class when no SMTP server is specified.
