    "Forgot password": sendgrid with sender identity

    Has anyone succeeded in sending a "forgot passord" e-mail, using a sendgrid account with "sender identity" (e-mail account verificartion)? This fails in the console in Umbraco for me (500 error). I've tried different ports, ssl on and off etc..

    If I use a sendgrid-account without sender identity everything works fine.

    Can anyone share a working configuration?

    Many thanks!

    Mine is working for my forgot password. Here is from my controller:

    using (var smtp = new SmtpClient())
            {
                var credential = new NetworkCredential
                {
                    UserName = "XXXXX",  // replace with valid value
                    Password = "XXXXX"  // replace with valid value
                };
                smtp.Credentials = credential;
                smtp.Host = "smtp.sendgrid.net";
                smtp.Port = 587;
                smtp.EnableSsl = true;
                smtp.Send(message);
                return true;
            }

    And this in my web.config

     <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp from="[email protected]">
        <network host="smtp.sendgrid.net" userName="XXXXX" password="XXXXX" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

    Thanks Mark! I've tried this setup (among a lot of others), but to no avail. I suspect something might be off with the sendgrid-account I'm using.

    It may also be your hosting provider. I read somewhere else that hosts such as GoDaddy do not play nicely with 3rd party senders
