Trying to send an email through an SMTP server, but I'm getting a nondescript error on the smtp.Send(mail);
snippet of code.
Server side, the relay IP addresses look correct. Scratching my head about what I'm missing.
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.To.Add(txtEmail.Text);
mail.From = new MailAddress("no-reply@company.us");
mail.Subject = "Thank you for your submission...";
mail.Body = "This is where the body text goes";
mail.IsBodyHtml = false;
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Host = "mailex.company.us";
smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential
("AdminName", "************");
smtp.EnableSsl = false;
if (fileuploadResume.HasFile)
{
mail.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(fileuploadResume.PostedFile.InputStream,
fileuploadResume.FileName));
}
smtp.Send(mail);
Try adding smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
prior to send.
For reference, here is my standard mail function:
public void sendMail(MailMessage msg)
{
string username = "username"; //email address or domain user for exchange authentication
string password = "password"; //password
SmtpClient mClient = new SmtpClient();
mClient.Host = "mailex.company.us";
mClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
mClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
mClient.Timeout = 100000;
mClient.Send(msg);
}
Typically called something like this:
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.From = new MailAddress("fromAddr");
msg.To.Add(anAddr);
if (File.Exists(fullExportPath))
{
Attachment mailAttachment = new Attachment(fullExportPath); //attach
msg.Attachments.Add(mailAttachment);
msg.Subject = "Subj";
msg.IsBodyHtml = true;
msg.BodyEncoding = Encoding.ASCII;
msg.Body = "Body";
sendMail(msg);
}
else
{
//handle missing attachments
}
var client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);
Credentials = new NetworkCredential("sendermailadress", "senderpassword"),
EnableSsl = true
client.Send("sender mail adress","receiver mail adress", "subject", "body");
MessageBox.Show("mail sent");
This is Adil's answer formatted for C#:
public static class Email
{
private static string _senderEmailAddress = "sendermailadress";
private static string _senderPassword = "senderpassword";
public static void SendEmail(string receiverEmailAddress, string subject, string body)
{
try
{
var client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
{
Credentials = new NetworkCredential(_senderEmailAddress, _senderPassword),
EnableSsl = true
};
client.Send(_senderEmailAddress, receiverEmailAddress, subject, body);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Exception sending email." + Environment.NewLine + e);
}
}
}
You didn't specify the port.
smtp.Port = 1111; // whatever port your SMTP server uses
The SMTP has three different "standard" ports: 25, 465 and 587. According to msdn documentation, the default value for the Port property is 25.
