I am not sure if this is the best group for this problem, but here goes.

I have a Windows application that has been running fine on about 40 machines
for over a year. It uses behind the scene emails (borrowing
System.Web.Mail to do so) to notify people of the need to do their part of
the process. The application was just installed on a WinXP system and the
behind the scene emails fail to send. The system is up to-date on all
Windows patches.

It gets an error to the effect:

System.Web.HttpException: could not access 'CDO.Message' object. -->
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by
the target of an invocation, --> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
(0x80040213): The transport failed to connect to the server.

This problem has never occurred on any other machine.


Any help is greatly appreciated.

In IIS console, You need to configure SMTP protocol to allow access for your
machine to relay(send) e-mail. It's blocked by default.
