I need to send an email in asp.net 2.0 and cant seem to get it working.

Whenever I run the code below I get a "Failure sending mail." error from the Catch.

I know the email settings are correct but I just cant send an email through code.


Can anyone see anything wrong with my code ?




try
{

string RecipientEmailAddress = Membership.GetUser("nathan").Email;


//create the mail message
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

//set the addresses
mail.From = new MailAddress("test@phalkensystems");
mail.To.Add("nathan.rimmer@gmail.com");

//set the content
mail.Subject = "This is an email";
mail.Body = "this is the body content of the email.";

//send the message
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();

smtp.Host = "smtpout.secureserver.net";
smtp.Port = 70;

//to authenticate we set the username and password properites on the SmtpClient
smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("test@phalkensystems", "xxxxxxx");
smtp.Send(mail);


}

catch (Exception ex)
{
Label1.Text = ex.Message.ToString();
}
