Maybe you should look in the MSDN documentation about the SmtpMail class?

It uses the local SMTP server (unless something else is specified), so it
should log something in the event log (but maybe not in this case since it
is a relay denied error).

Anyway, the error you get back is a relay denied. So you need to configure
the local SMTP server so that you are able to relay thru it. You can for
example add the IP of your machine to the list of allowed IPs to relay.
