GoDaddy Send Email

I am using ASP.Net 4.0 with MVC 3 and C# to try and send an email from my site. This code works on other hosts but for some reason GoDaddy is erroring out. Here is the code I am using.

  var fAddress = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
  var tAddress = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
  var message = new MailMessage(fAddress, tAddress)
  {
      Subject = subject,
      Body = body
  };

  var client = new SmtpClient("relay-hosting.secureserver.net");
  client.Send(message);

Here is the error I am receiving

Mailbox name not allowed. The server response was: sorry, your mail was administratively denied. (#5.7.1)

Any other GoDaddy users here that can shed some light?

Your From address does not need to be a GoDaddy email. It is the user/password for the domain that must be valid. This is what the Web.config should have:

<system.net>
  <mailSettings>
    <smtp from="[email protected]">
      <network host="smtpout.secureserver.net" port="80" userName="[email protected]" password="yourpassword" defaultCredentials="false" />
    </smtp>
  </mailSettings>
</system.net>

Then you can initialize it in code-behind with this: 

var mailclient = new SmtpClient();

It could be because neither email address is native to the mail server used by GoDaddy, and thus you'd need to allow relaying. This is just one possibility, I think the best approach would be to contact them directly.

It might be something to do with the from address:

Problem seem to be the FROM email address. The FROM email address must be an email address with the hosted domain to avoid this error. For example if you have a hosted domain yourdomain.com, your FROM email address should be something like [email protected].
