How do I send an email with ASP.NET 2.0 Articles
To send email via your ASP.Net pages, you can mimic the following code samples.

Special Note
Be sure to make the following changes when using these coding examples:
1. Replace you@domain.com with a valid Brinkster hosted email account.
2. Replace password with the password for the email account used above.
3. Replace user@domain.com with a valid email account.

**Your FROM address must be the same as the email address you authenticate with.**
