How to send message to hotmail using asp.net without user password?

I have a web page, In CONTACT US tab I have a forms user can only enter their Name, Email Id, Subject and message. Once they click the ok button I want to get those message to my hotmail account.

I tried some code. But it doesn't work.

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
smtp.Port = 587;
smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(txtUserEmail.text, txtPassword);
smtp.EnableSsl = true;

MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.Subject = "Demo";
msg.Body = "Hi there..";

string toAddress = "[email protected]"; // Add Recepient address
msg.To.Add(toAddress);

string fromAddress = "\"no reply \" <[email protected]>";
msg.From = new MailAddress(fromAddress);
msg.IsBodyHtml = true;

    try
    {
        smtp.Send(msg);
    }
    catch
    {
        throw;
    }

This code I tried. But it's having a password. I want user to send email without password to my [email protected]

Here is my form design enter image description here

That depends on your host. Usually web hosts give you a local SMTP server, then you can use it to send any mail you want, just need to know the configuration settings and use them with the SmtpClient.

If your host doesn't offer smtp (very strange unless you're selfhosting the page) you can:

1-Install a local SMTP server (if you manage the server), this is the preferred solution.

2-Use an external service like google to send the mails, but then you need to create an account on the service and use these credentials, and have in account that Google has a lot of restrictions sending emails (limit per second, marking mails as spam, etc etc).

Preferred way to do this is to not have the mail be sent from the users e-mail, but rather have a dummy e-mail that sends the mails and contains the data the user entered. Not the best solution probably, but it doesn't require user credentials.
