You are misunderstanding what the SmtpClient Host property is used for.

This line of code here is wrong...

MyMail.Host = "[email protected]";

MyMail.Host should point to your SMTP server - you're trying to set it to the FROM address.

You are already setting the FROM address in your MailMessage object, int he line shown below...

MyMsg.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "myname");

So, just to give you an example, I might have a server at the IP 10.1.0.5 and it runs an SMTP server on port 25. You would set your MyMail.Host = "10.1.0.5", or even better just set it in the constructor like this...

SmtpClient MyMail = new SmtpClient("10.1.0.5", 25);

Now, this is just an example - I don't know if / where you might have an SMTP server set up. But if you don't have an SMTP server set up, that's something you're missing. If you do have it set up, the Host property should be its IP or domain name.
