send confirmation mail via ASP.NET

I'm trying to send a confirm registration mail. I don't want to use the SMTPs for gmail or windows Live as it is not legal and can not be used for those type of purposes.

Is there any mailing service that is accessible by code which can satisfy my requirements in a legal way?

I'm using ASP.NET Framework 3.5.

You could try leveraging something like MailChimp. If your audience is small enough, you could even use their free service.

The SMTP server you use will likely depend on where you are running your code.

Locally (i.e. developing on Visual Studio), you should use an SMTP server which you know will relay mail from your IP address. This is normally your ISP's SMTP server. Check with them for specifics ( but a couple of good guesses might be smtp.yourisp.com or mail.yourisp.com ).

In a corporate environment, you should be able to use your company's SMTP server. Check with your tech people for specifics.

In a public Internet hosted environment, you can either use your own SMTP server or one provided with your hosting package. Again, you should be able to get this from your hosting provider.

Get your own domain and hosted mail server. Usually you can find them for $10/mo or less
