You need to make sure you have a working IIS SMTP install before trying to  
access it programatically.

Can you use your IIS SMTP server to send mail to local and/or remote  
domains (using a regular MTA like OE)?  Can you drag-and-drop an RFC 822  
message into your \Pickup directory and see it delivered?

Ok, I tried sending it out via Outlook Express.
I am getting this error.

How do I authenticate programmatically from a web page?
Can someone give me a link to a page which describes this in detail and has 
a working example?

What SMTP client library are you using?  SMTP AUTH mechanisms are  
described intimately by RFC -- but the API-level implementation varies  
completely by SMTP client library (CDOSYS, etc.).

I am sending out like these examples.

http://www.developer.com/net/net/article.php/3511731

It now works via Outlook Express if I set myself up to use the 
authentication options.
How do I do this programmtically?

What is the exact code block you're using, the error message you receive,  
and the offending line of code?

If you look at my other follow up, I don't get any error messages.
It just doesn't work.  I tried inserting the trace options into my 
web.config file, but the server rejected them.

You  have  to get error messages. If your code isn't barfing, then you
are attempting to submit mail to an SMTP server. You can't submit mail
without it getting either accepted or rejected.

What do your SMTP logs reflect when you are sending these messages?

Well,  that would be a problem on your ASP.NET side, kind of off-topic
here.

I have a working IIS SMTP installation.  It is successfully sending email 
that is sent using CDONTS. However when it using the new .net mail object 
using method 

client.UseDefaultCredentials = True
            client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis
            client.Send(mailObject)
It works find on my local development machine and the production server but 
it returns that error on the development Server.  The website on my local 
machine which XP is set to be the default website when I am running it.  On 
the development server and the production server the website is a newly added 
website.  On the 2003 servers the user running the website is Network Service 
and the authenication is set to allow anonymous access. using IURS.  Network 
Service has all the needed permissions to "mailroot\pickup".  All the blogs 
and forums say "you have to give you user the rights it needs to that 
folder."  Well it does.  So why am I am getting that error here and not 
getting it on the production server.

Does the \Pickup folder actually function correctly if you place a test  
message in there for local or remote delivery?

Is the SMTP service installed and running?
