Hi,
I am trying to send mail via gmail from an ASP.NET app. It seems like this
should be easy, and many code snippets on the web show how to do it.
However, I cannot get it to work. When I use port 465, I get a timeout
exception. When I use port 587, I get an "Authentication Required
exception". Here is my code. I have tried all sorts of variations on the
syntax, but to no avail:
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 465);
client.EnableSsl = true;
System.Net.NetworkCredential cred = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("
[email protected]", "password");
client.Credentials = cred; // null if assign Credentials in one line of
code
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.Timeout = 5000;
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
message.To.Add("[email protected]");
message.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
message.Subject = "The Subject";
message.Body = "this is the body";
try
{
client.Send(message);
}
catch (Exception ex) { // do something }
Here is the matching code from web.config. This may be redundant, but it
doesn't seem to matter if I set the port & credentials here or in C#.
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="[email protected]">
<network host="smtp.gmail.com" userName="[email protected]"
password="password" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
I am quite sure my actual username and password are correct because I can
manually log into gmail using those credentials.
Help! I am stuck here.
Thanks.
Dan
