MVC app doesn't send email when deployed on a remote server

Question

When an exception occurs in my MVC app, my code sends an email.

The thing works like a charm when I deploy locally. On the remote server, though, it doesn't send any email.

Below are some details about my deployment environment.

Web Server: IIS 7.5

.NET Framework: v4

MVC version: 4

Windows Server: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard

Help appreicated.

Answer 1

Sorry, I realized that I had to grant permissions to the user ASP.NET v4.0 , which was the name of the Application Pool / Identity under which my application was registered / running.

That solved the problem.
