Trouble sending email with ASP.NET 2.0

I have an ASP.NET 2.0 application that is supposed to send an email after a
certain form is submitted. When it tries to send the email, I receive the
following error:
Transaction failed. The server response was: njsokalski@dotnet.itags.org.hotmail.com:
Recipient address rejected: Access denied
(in the error message, the part with the email address was displayed as
<myemailaddress>, but you will probably see a link because our news viewers
think they know what we want). I know that the address is correct, so what
is it that the server didn't like about it? Is it saying I don't have
permission to use the SMTP server (I was pretty sure I was, but this is the
first time I am sending email from this server)? Is there something wrong
with my code? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You didn't provide your code, so it is hard to tell.
However, this works for me:
Try
Dim mail As New Mail.MailMessage()
mail.From = New Mail.MailAddress("mail@.mail.somewhere",
"Subject")
mail.To.Add("another@.mail.somewhere")
mail.Subject = "Subject"
mail.Body = "Body"
Dim smtp As New Mail.SmtpClient("mail.planprojekt.dk")
smtp.Credentials = New
NetworkCredential("mail@.mail.somewhere", "password")
smtp.Send(mail)
bEmailSent = True
Catch ex As Exception
Exit Sub
End Try
/Snedker
If you are using the machine's local SMTP Service,
you may need to add a Smarthost or domains (e.g., "*.com", "*.net")
so that email sent through it is allowed to be sent out or relayed.

The code I am using is as follows:
Private Sub SendEmailNotification()
Dim confsender As New
SmtpClient(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("smtpserver
"))
Dim confirmation As New MailMessage()
confirmation.IsBodyHtml = False
confirmation.From = New MailAddress("fromaddress@.mydomain.com")
confirmation.To.Add("njsokalski@.hotmail.com")
confirmation.Subject = "My Subject"
confirmation.Body = "My Body"
confsender.Send(confirmation)
End Sub
Thanks.
