Have created a simple contact form for use on client's website and can get the email (i'm using my gmail account temporarily) but when it is sent it shows it is from me no matter what I put in the email field. Please help! Probably something completely ignorant but please help! I want the email to be derived from the txtEmail.text field. Is there something I need to add to my web.config or on GoDaddy side of things? Thanks. Below is my code. I am aware I need to include try catch and clear the fields, but that will come after I get this to work!! And yes I did include my real credentials.
Imports System.Net.Mail.MailAddress
Imports System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
Imports System.Net.NetworkCredential
Imports System.Net.Mail
Partial Class Default2
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub btnSubmit_Click1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSubmit.Click
Dim Msg As New MailMessage()
' Sender e-mail address.
Msg.From = New MailAddress(txtEmail.Text)
' Recipient e-mail address.
Msg.To.Add("[email protected]")
Msg.Subject = txtSubject.Text
Msg.Body = "Sent From:" & txtName.Text + Environment.NewLine + "Email:" & txtEmail.Text + Environment.NewLine + txtMessage.Text
' your remote SMTP server IP.
Dim smtp As New SmtpClient()
smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"
smtp.Port = 25
smtp.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("user", "pass")
smtp.EnableSsl = True
smtp.Send(Msg)
'Msg = null;
lbltexts.Visible = True
End Sub
End Class

MyMessage.To.Add("[email protected]")
MyMessage.Subject = TextBox3.Text + body
MyMessage.Body = TextBox4.Text
Dim SMTP As New SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com")
SMTP.Port = 587
SMTP.EnableSsl = True
SMTP.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "Password")
SMTP.Send(MyMessage)
MessageBox.Show("Success")
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("failed To Send")
End Try
End Sub

Your code looks correct, but you're sending it through Gmail. Their SMTP server is likely rewriting the FROM field so that it matches the email address you're using for authentication.
You might want to see this question.
Alternatively, you can send your mail through an SMTP server that doesn't do this.
