Stefan on SharePoint | Send email from your MOSS Web Part

It's easy to leverage the email server SharePoint is configured with already. This is the mail server used for alerts and notifications within the portal system.

You'll need to add a reference to the Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities namespace.

using Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities;

Then just use the SendEmail method:

SPUtility.SendEmail(SPContext.Current.Web, false, false, "to address", "subject line", "body");

Make sure all your parameters are valid objects. Does the spcontext exist?

You likely need to run the code with elevated privileges.
