Hi Abhiram,
You can only send an email using a SMTP server that you have access
credentials for or is on your LAN.
Ask your company system admin for the SMTP server name of the company
you work for. Use this as the smtp server host. You can still use
your gmail address as you, but the email will be sent from your local
smtp server. This is the way all mail clients work on desktops, ie
Thunderbird or MS Outlook.
You can verify a quick connection to the smtp server by using the
telnet program, followed by quit
> Telnet smtp.mycompany.com 25
You should get a connection message. like:
220 mwinf2029.mycompany.com ESMTP ABO **************************
quit
221 2.0.0 Bye
Connection to host lost.
Now you should be ready to test the sending of an email using your
Application.
The reason you cannot connect to gmail would be for security reasons.
Cheers,
- Chuck
