How To Send Email From An App Using Free GMAIL SMTP Server
Mar 15, 2010
I have configured gmail's free smtp server for my web app and previously I was using smtp server configured at the server.
So I have changed my smtp settings accordingly but my app isn't sending any email and giving me error connection time out, third party tool isn't responding after many retrials.
Here are my settings-
SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient("mail.MyWebsiteDomainName.com", 25);
smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("info@MyWebsiteDomainName.com", "myIDPassword");
smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true;....

a couple weeks ago, my ASP.NET website stopped sending user comments which I implemented by emailing those comments to my email account through Gmail SMTP server [URL]. I opened the project on my development machine and again it fails to send the email after a couple minutes with the following exception message:
Failure sending mail
Unable to read data from the transport connection: net_io_connectionclosed.
I'm using Gmail's SMTP with port 465, and MailClient.EnableSSL = True.
The weird thing is my Office Outlook 2007 is using the same settings and it doesn't have any problems sending mail using the same Gmail account.

module thats available for asp.net that uses a queue to send email to an smtp server? the queue being the operative word here.. we need a proper fallback mechanism for storing any messages that can't be sent so that the send can be re-attempted later

SMTP is a whole new ballgame for me, but I am reading up on it.
I am attempting to send email from my EC2 instance using GoDaddy's SMTP server. My domain name is registered through GoDaddy and I have 2 email accounts with them.
I can successfully send the email from my dev box no problem.
my web.config

I have a feeling I'm just missing something fundamental. I also have a feeling someone is going to recommend I use AuthSmtp or something similar, I'll agree, and have had wasted the past 6 hours

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.

I 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.

I have my code here, it works fine from my home, where my user is administrator, and I am connected to internet via a cable network.
But, problem is when I try this code from my work place, it does not work. Shows error:
"unable to connect to the remote server"
From a different machine in the same network:
"A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network 209.xxx.xx.52:25"
I checked with our network admin, and he assured me that all the mail ports are open [25,110, and other ports for gmail].
Then, I logged in with administrative privilege, there was a little improvement, it did not show any error, but the actual email was never received.
note that, the code was tested from development environment, visual studio 2005 and 2008.
try
{
MailMessage mail_message = new MailMessage("xxxxx@y7mail.com", txtToEmail.Text, txtSubject.Text, txtBody.Text);
SmtpClient mail_client = new SmtpClient("SMTP.y7mail.com");
NetworkCredential Authentic = new NetworkCredential("xxxxx@y7mail.com", "xxxxx");
mail_client.UseDefaultCredentials = true;......

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
