View 5 RepliesI am using gmail for sending email in my asp.net application. Email works fine if I send email on server but if I try to send emails on local machine it give error. I placed break poin in code and when send method is called it shows error box with heading "Smtp exception was unhandled by user code" and in detail it says "Faliur sending mail". If I continued on browser it shows error page with these details:
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Having problems sending email to a gmail account? In my web config I have it setup as:
Code:
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="xxxx" deliveryMethod="Network" >
<network host="smtp.xxxx.com" password="xxx" userName="xxx" enableSsl="false" port="25" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
This works if I send it to something like my domain, but if I try this to gmail it will give me something like "secure connection required" I've tried a few different ports. I've tried 587 and it gives me the same thing. If I turn enablessl=true ports 587 and 25 will tell me secure email no supported. If I try it on port 465 it will time out.
there's a thing called "Collaboration Data Objects for Windows 2000" using System.Web.Mail, but I don't want to do that because I'm using System.Net.Mail and microsoft also when I try and compile the CDO objects it says it's now unsupported plus it doesn't work anyway. It times out when I try this:
Code:
Dim smtpServer As String = "xxxx"
Dim userName As String = "xxx"
Dim password As String = "xxx"
Dim cdoBasic As Integer = 1

TL;DR - Any webapp devs out there able to squeeze performance out of using gmail as SMTP server without a 3-10 minute delay to delivery?I'm looking for some feedback from developers who are using gmail as a secure SMTP server for use with Webapps.Within the past 2 weeks, my company has switched to gmail to host email for our domains.I have a few webapps that send from our ISP server, but I'd like to refactor the code to use gmail with our domain name. I know the ISP can rig things up, but I don't want relay issues.I have gmail sending for the Webapps and it's more or less working. On ASP/IIS, I'm using SSL and on PHP Linux, I'm using TLS.It seems that TLS (port 587) works better than plain old SSL (port 465), but the overall performance difference seems minimal.What concerns me is that there is often a significant delay (10-20 minutes at times) to get email to a recipient no matter which method I use to send via gmail.While I understand this can happen in any environment, I am used to fast delivery. Use case is salespeople talking to customers and needing to get email to them very quickly using the Webapp. Before the gmail switch, usually less than a minute to deliver. Now, it is 3-4 minutes minimum.Am I crazy to try to use gmail for this purpose? There seem to be a lot of devs using it, so just wanting to know how it works out for them/you.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to send an email from our web server to a gmail account via System.Net.Mail but am failing miserably receiving this error message:
Mailbox name not allowed. The server response was:
that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Using this code I am able to send emails to other email addresses on our Outlook email server:
[Code]....
So I know I am capable of sending email to Gmail with port 587 and using the proper credentials of my own Gmail account. That is not the problem.
The problem is I want to be able to have the mail sent from my application from whatever the user puts in the FROM (Email address): text box to a Gmail account. When I use the above code, the address that the email is sent from is my own.
So the question is: Is there any way to configure this to be able to send from an Outlook email server to a Gmail account without having to use my Gmail account to actually do it (using my credientials). Therefore showing the email as sent from whatever the user puts in the txtEmail text box, and having it sent from the Outlook server?
I know my SMTP uses the port 25 for outgoing mail and I am pretty sure that the Gmail settings block port 25 for incoming mail, which makes sense, but what doesnt make sense is I can compose a message in Outlook and send it to a gmail account, but I cannot automate this through my programming, which makes me feel certain its my programming.

View 1 RepliesWe have a business web application that periodically sends emails as reminders, links to client data, etc. Our company uses Google Apps for our email provider (with our own domain name), and the web application sends email through Google with SMTP.
The problem is that Google Apps / Gmail keeps marking the messages as spam, even for the inboxes in our domain name. No other email provider seems to mark it as spam (but of course we haven't tested them all...).
We've tried various formulations of the body test: i.e. including more contextual information, addressing the recipient by name, but so far with no apparent changes. This makes me thing it may be something about our email sending process, rather than the content of the email, that's causing the emails to be marked as spam.
Things that we tried but that didn't solve the problem:
"From" address is valid and not spoofed SPF records are correct, and show as "pass" in the email header Since we are connecting to Google's SMTP server to send email, it's not an issue with a blacklisted IP address (however, our website has a static IP address that is not blacklisted). Email is not very spammy: I've checked against several online spam filter tests, and the email body always shows up as extremely unlikely to be filtered. HTML body vs plain-text body seems to make no difference. We send a small volume of email: probably 0-10 emails per day, so I don't see how that would make this suspicious. Whenever we have access to the receiving inbox (i.e. it belongs to an employee of our company), we've been marking the emails as "not spam", since Gmail may be using communal statistics to determine spam. After a couple times this results in emails to that particular inbox getting through, but doesn't seem to help other accounts.
What else can we try?
If it makes a difference, we're sending emails using an ASP.NET site running .NET 3.5. A typical email gets sent like this:
var message = new MailMessage(new MailAddress(from), new MailAddress(to)) {
Subject = subject,
Body = body
IsBodyHtml = true
};
// SMTP details stored in web.config
new SmtpClient { EnableSsl = true }.SendAsync(message, null);
EDIT: I've seen this similar question: How to stop Gmail from marking mails sent by my web app as spam?, but the situation is a little different since we can reproduce it by sending and receiving from the same Google Apps domain. Besides, I believe I have covered all of the proposed solutions for that question.
