Why do you want to go through the hassle of running your own SMTP server?
You can use SMTP service from your ISP provider, gmail, yahoo etc.

Since you are using C# and ASP.NET - you can use SmtpClient and MailMessage classes in System.Net.Mail namespace.

Refer this page for an example of sending the mail
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2005/12/10/432854.aspx

Here is a good page with SMTP server settings with different ISPs
http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/tips/mail-settings.html

If your own ISP provider is providing this service refer to their web site or contact support for servername and port.
