asp.net mvc - RedirectToAction hangs without redirecting -

i have following code registering users in app

[httppost] public virtual actionresult register( registermodel model ) {     if ( !modelstate.isvalid ) {         //invalid - redisplay form errors         return view( model );     }      try {         membershipuser mu = _manager.registeruser( model );         //send confirmation email here     }     catch ( registrationexception rex ) {         modelstate.addmodelerror( "", rex.message );     }     return redirecttoaction( "index", "home" ); } 

if user correctly registered on system redirecting him home page of app with

return redirecttoaction( "index", "home" ); 

i have code working in dev box , in staging server. when publish on production server accessible through internet hangs on last call, after sending email, without redirecting user @ all.

any idea?

lorenzo,

i think may have error (configuration and/or disabled) remote mail setup , error being 'swallowed' in try/catch block. try disabling block , should able see actual error occurred on server. gut feel issue lies!! i've gone down path many time, you're not alone.

the joys of switching 'live' environment...

cheers...
