Chapter 9 Email problem
Hi Imar
First of all i want to say how helpful i am finding your book. Im a classic ASP Classic developer learning .net in c# and your book is quite simply the best i have found.
I am, however struggling, with the email settings. I have a hotmail account and when i try and load th demo page (as per page 310 of your book) i get the following error
Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.3 Requested action aborted; user not authenticated
This is with mySmtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
If i take that out i get a different error message
The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first
My code is as follows
Code behind the demo email page ...
using System.Net.Mail;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
public partial class Email : BasePage
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MailMessage myMessage = new MailMessage();
myMessage.Subject = "Test Message";
myMessage.Body = "Hellow world, from planet Wrox";
myMessage.From = new MailAddress(" [email protected]", "Alex Eichner");
myMessage.To.Add(new MailAddress(" [email protected]", "Alex Eichner"));
SmtpClient mySmtpClient = new SmtpClient();
mySmtpClient.Send(myMessage);
}
}
Web.config
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from=" [email protected]" deliveryMethod="Network">
<network host="smtp.live.com" port="587"
userName=" [email protected]" password="password" defaultCredentials="true" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
</configuration>

Thank you; good to hear!
Try changing the port to 25; somehow it seems that Hotmail requires port 25, despite the fact you're using SSL. You need to set ENableSsl to true again.
Cheers,
Imar

You also need to take out defaultCredentials="true"; then it works for me with this config:
Code:
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="[email protected]" deliveryMethod="Network">
<network host="smtp.live.com" port="25" userName="[email protected]"
password="mypassword" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
and this code behind:
Code:
MailMessage myMessage = new MailMessage();
myMessage.Subject = "Test Message";
myMessage.Body = "Hellow world, from planet Wrox";
myMessage.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
myMessage.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));
SmtpClient mySmtpClient = new SmtpClient();
mySmtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
mySmtpClient.Send(myMessage);
Hope this helps,
Imar

EMAIL HELP AGAIN IMAR
Hi Imar. You'll remember when i was going through the book the first time around i didnt get the email to work. This is my second go at the book and ive studied Dariune and your discussion below carefully to see if i could get it to work as im using hotmail but still no luck. This was the error i got below if you can point me in the right direction. Must try get it to work this time as i didnt realise how much the rest of the book used email until ive done it the first time around:
Code:
Server Error in '/' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first
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.Mail.SmtpException: The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first
Source Error:
The source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be shown when compiled in debug mode. To enable this, please follow one of the below steps, then request the URL:
1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the error. Example:
<%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %>
or:
2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.
Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.

I don't see you setting EnableSsl to true in your code.
Also, you may want to edit your post and remove your hotmail user name and password.
Finally, did you try the local drop folder as I explained previously? It's super simple and makes all of this a lot easier.....

However when sending mail via the contactform page per step 8 on p.316 it gives the following error:
