Issue with Send Email Asynchronously with ASP.NET

Hello!

I am trying to add a page for sending email asynchronously to our web site.

My problem is the email does not send? You click the send button and the page just flickers and stays the same. No error, no nothing.

Any ideas?

Here is the code for the web.config:
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp>
<network host="mailserver.com" port="587" userName="name@test.com" password="password" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

New Page code:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<%@ Import Namespace="System" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Net.Mail" %>
 
 <script language="C#" runat="server">
    
         protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
         {
 
         }
         protected void btnSend_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
         {
             SendMail();
         }
 
         /// &lt;summary&gt;

         private void SendMail()
         {
             System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mailMessage = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
 
             mailMessage.From = new MailAddress("applicant@test.com");
             mailMessage.To.Add(new MailAddress("employer@test.com"));
 
             mailMessage.Subject = txtSubject.Text.Trim();
             mailMessage.Body = txtBody.Text.Trim();

Have you tryed put some code in the catch blocks and setting breakpoints on those lines?
if you have an exception there its catched and ignored!

try
{
//Send the email asynchronously
smtpClient.SendAsync(mailMessage, userState);
}
catch (SmtpException smtpEx)
{
string s = smtpEx.ToString();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
string s = exToString();
}

can you try after changing the user name to domainname\username in web config
<network host="mailserver.com" port="587" userName="domainName\UserName" password="password" />
