Send email error

I'm using this code to send and email from a contact form on my page that you can find on the link below. I'm getting this error message:

CDO.Message.1 error '80040213'
The transport failed to connect to the server.

It points to the .Send line of code. What can be the problem? The configuration data of my email account?

Hi jppinto,
Why don't you use ASP.NET ? Here's an example:

    Public Sub SendMessage(ByVal subject As String, ByVal messageBody As String, ByVal toAddress As String)
 
        Try
            Dim message As New MailMessage()
            With message
                .From = New MailAddress("mail@domain.com", "Sender Name")
                .To.Add(toAddress)
                .Subject = subject
                .Body = messageBody
 
            End With
 
            Dim networkCredentials As New Net.NetworkCredential()
            With networkCredentials
                .UserName = "username"
                .Password = "password"
            End With
 
            Dim client As New SmtpClient()
            With client
                .Credentials = networkCredentials
                .Host = "domain.com"
                .EnableSsl = False
 
                'Send the e-mail message
                .Send(message)
            End With
 
        Catch ex As Exception
            Throw New Exception(ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub

Use jpaulino's suggestion with one minor modificaiton:

.Host = "domain.com"

should be

.Host = "mail.mydomain.pt"

The point being that the host needs to be the name (or ip address) of the server, not just the domain name.

The problem with the original question may because the username/password is incorrect or your password has expired on the mail server.
