I am using the following code to send an email

But I am getting runtime error

Can you please tell me the reason

MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
        message.From = new MailAddress("sender@domain.com");
        message.To.Add(new MailAddress(MailTo));
        message.Subject = Subject;
        message.Body = Body.ToString();
        
        SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("localhost");                       
        client.EnableSsl = true;
        client.Send(message);

Is the machine you are running the code on (localhost) an SMTP server?

No

I think we are using the the SMTP service in services.msc to send an email

I have an outlook configured on my machine

so I think my machine also configures for SMTP

Does your Outlook go to localhost as well? If not, the copy the server address that Outlook is using into your

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("server_name_here");

line.
