Sending email from within a WebService

(sorry for the dual post here and the webservice NG. I meant to send to both
at the same time)

I have a method which sends email to & from a specific account. All was
working fine until the server was upgraded to an AD/DNS server. Now the
email never goes through.

I can run the same code from an exe and it works fine.

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

mail.Body = msg;
mail.From = emailfrom;
mail.To = emailto;
mail.Subject = "Test.";
mail.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate"]
= 2;
mail.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver"]
= "mail.mydomain.com";
mail.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport"]
= 25;
mail.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername"]
= "sender@mydomain.com";
mail.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword"]
= "******";

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mail.mydomain.com";
SmtpMail.Send(mail);

Does the service need to be granted a certain permission?

Not necessarily !! As long as nothing on your server prevents the userid
running the service from connecting to the SMTP server, you don't need
anything special.
