Is there a particular format to provide smtp server details on web.config. I need to set my local smtp to my epi sebsite. I'm always getting an error while sending an email from XForm.

I have provided my smtp settings in web.config as follows:

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="EMAIL_Address">
<network host="serverName" port="25" userName="" password=""/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

Does it work if you configure it for PickupDirectory instead?

No worries. It's also in your web.config, I believe something like below. It will create files from your emails and put them in the directory instead of sending them.

<system.net>
  <mailSettings>
    <smtpdeliveryMethod="SpecifiedPickupDirectory"from="no-reply@example.com">
      <specifiedPickupDirectorypickupDirectoryLocation="C:\path\to\pickupdirectory" />
    </smtp>
  </mailSettings>
</system.net>
