    I'm trying to send mail through DTS Send Mail Task in the final release of VS 2005 however i'm getting this error "Mailbox unavailable.The server response was:5.7.1 Unable to relay for <email adress>. I do not have exchange server installed. The smtp adress is correct. So what could be the problem???

    I appreciate your help

    Thanks

    Some likely causes for this error message are discussed in the link below (I found this by simply Googling your error message). Good luck!

    System.Web.Mail is working correctly, and is attempting to send the email. However, your SmtpMail.SmtpServer is not allowing relaying. Try one of the following suggestions:

    • Make sure the MailMessage.From is a valid email address that exists on the SmtpMail.SmtpServer.
    • Allow relaying for your MailMessage.From address (see your specific mail server documentation for this)
    • Allow relaying for your IP Address (see your specific mail server documentation for this).
    • Try authenticated first, before sending the email. Check out 3.8 How do I authenticate to send an email?
    • If you are using the IIS SMTP Service try allowing relaying for your IP address by:

      • Opening the IIS Admin MMC
      • Right-Clicking on the SMTP Virtual Server and selecting Properties
      • On the Access tab, click the Relay button
      • Grant 127.0.0.1 (or the IP address used by System.Web.Mail) to the Computers list.
      • Close all dialogs
      • Restarting the SMTP Service
