CreateUserWizard FormatException for e-mail address

[Avi]

A CreateUserWizard contorl receives new user details, adds the user to
the database, tries to send a confirmation mail message and stops with
a "System.FormatException: The specified string is not in the form
required for an e-mail address."

Any ideas?

---------------------------------------------------------
The CreateUserWizard contorl's code:

<asp:CreateUserWizard ID="CreateUserWizard1" runat="server"
ContinueDestinationPageUrl="~/Default.aspx">
<WizardSteps>
<asp:CreateUserWizardStep runat="server">
</asp:CreateUserWizardStep>
<asp:CompleteWizardStep runat="server">
</asp:CompleteWizardStep>
</WizardSteps>
<MailDefinition From="ProjectTemplate" Subject="Registration to
ProjectTemplate"
BodyFileName="~/UsersMngmnt/Registration.txt">
</MailDefinition>
</asp:CreateUserWizard>

---------------------------------------------------------
The mail configuration in the parent directory's Config.Web:

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="ProjectTemplate">
<network host="<Outgoing Mail Server>" password="<Password>"
userName="<User Name>" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

The network host, password and userName values were taken from
Outlook's E-mail Accounts, so I'm quite sure they're correct.

---------------------------------------------------------
The activity that (consistently) causes the exception:

Click on "Register for the first time".
Receive "Sign Up for Your New Accoutn" step.
Enter User Name "g", Password & Confirm Password "1234567#", E-Mail
"(e-mail address removed)", Security Question "What's your name?" and Security
Answer "g".

---------------------------------------------------------
The exception:

Server Error in '/ProjectTemplate' Application.

RE:CreateUserWizard FormatException for e-mail address

<MailDefinition From="ProjectTemplate" Subject="Registration to
ProjectTemplate"
BodyFileName="~/UsersMngmnt/Registration.txt">
</MailDefinition>

The "From" attribute should be a valid email address (e.g. (e-mail address removed))
