Chapter 9 Trying to send email out

digink · September 28th, 2009, 09:41 PM

Hello Imar,

Great book, I am just having a slight issue in chapter 9 and I think I might have an idea as to what is going on but I'd appreciate it if you could provide any more insight.

I am getting this error when I try to run the page in my web browser:

"
Server Error in '/Site' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 74.125.65.109:25
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.

Exception Details: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 74.125.65.109:25

Source Error:

Line 11:
Line 12: Dim mySmtpClient As New SmtpClient()
Line 13: mySmtpClient.Send(myMessage)
Line 14: End Sub
Line 15: End Class
"

Now I'm running this at a work computer and I'm assuming maybe something is being blocked in the firewall? Do you have any idea why this is getting thrown in the browser?

Thanks again

Hi there,

Take a look at the error message:

It's not your computer that's blocking something, but the target machine (e.g. the mail server).

Maybe that IP address is from your home ISP and is not accessible from your work network?

Hi there,

Take a look at this:

Quote:

"......... The server response was: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first"

and then this:

Code:

SmtpClient mySmtpClient = new SmtpClient();
mySmtpClient.Send(myMessage);
mySmtpClient.EnableSsl = true;

You're setting the SSL setting after you've sent the message.

Hope this helps,

Imar

Morning Imar,

Thank you very much.

I can't believe i never realised that and i should have written the

line:
mySmtpClient.EnableSsl = true;

before

line:
mySmtpClient.Send(myMessage);

It' s working great now and i can work ahead now on the book.

Once again great book and thanks for your feedback on my query.

Regards

Code:

      
        mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##Name##", Name.Text);
        mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##Email##", EmailAddress.Text);
        mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##HomePhone##", PhoneHome.Text);
        mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##BusinessPhone##", PhoneBusiness.Text);
        mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##Comments##", Comments.Text);

nothing is shown in place of the text entered in the text boxes

Hi papimann

Please don't cross-post and continue the discussion at your original thread.

Cheers,

Imar
