Chapter 9 Email not going through

dtmmaxx · October 7th, 2010, 08:32 PM

Using my gmail account, I put the code in properly and Im not getting any errors, the page comes up fine, but there are no emails that are going though. I tried all your troubleshooting tips. Im getting an error on this line, it just says failure sending mail:

Code:

mySmtpClient.Send(myMessage);

Here my web.config (I put user/pass in asterisks just so its not out in the web

):

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

Hi there,

Have you tried setting the port number to 587 in the web.config? It's an attribute on the network element you posted.

Cheers,
