    Send email in razor macro

    Hi, I created a contact form by using razor macro. 

    @using System;
    @using System.Linq;
    @using System.Net.Mail;
    @{
    if (IsPost) { 
        string name = Request["Name"]; 
        string email = Request["Email"];
        string telephone = Request["Telephone"];
        try
                {
                MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
                //var from = new MailAddress(Email.Text);
                mail.From = new MailAddress(email);
                mail.To.Add("[email protected]");
                mail.Subject = "Contact Us";
                mail.IsBodyHtml = false;
                mail.Body = "You just got a contact email:\n" +
                            "Name: " + name + "\n"
                            + "Phone: " + telephone + "\n"
                            + "Email: " + email + "\n";
                            
                SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
                
                    smtp.Send(mail);
                    
                }
                catch(Exception ex)
                {
                    
                }     
        <text> 
          You entered: <br /> 
          Name: @name <br /> 
          Email: @email <br /> 
          Telephone: @telephone <br />
        </text> 
        }


    <div class="inputForm">
    <form method="post" action=""> 
    <fieldset> 
    <h2></h2>
    <div> 
    <label for="Name">Name</label> 
    <input type="text" id="Name" name="Name" value="" /> 
    </div> 
    <div> 
    <label for="Email">Email:</label> 
    <input type="text" id="Email" name="Email" value="" /> 
    </div> 
    <label for="Telehphone">Telehphone:</label> 
    <input type="text" id="Telephone" name="Telephone" value="" /> 
    </div> 
    <div> 
    <label>&nbsp;</label> 
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" class="submit" /> 
    </div> 
    </fieldset> 
    </form> 

    However, it fails with error ''Failure sending mail." when the form is submitted. I am just wonderring if the above code is correct for razor macro? I am new to razor. 

    Thanks

    Jamie

    You might save yourself a lot of trouble by using my contact mail package for Razor? ;-)

    As for the error you're getting, make sure that the mail configuration in your web.config is correct. There is some sample configs in the documentation of my package which you could try to test things out.

    Update: Just tested your code and it is fine, so either there's a problem in one of the variables (email, name or telephone), or it's the mail config.

    The first thing I would do is remove the empty Catch block so you can see if there is any SMTP exception being raised. It's generally bad-practice to swallow exceptions without doing anything, too.
