How can I send emails through SSL SMTP with the .N

问题:

Is there a way with the .NET Framework to send emails through an SSL SMTP server on port 465?

The usual way:

System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient _SmtpServer = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient(\"tempurl.org\");
_SmtpServer.Port = 465;
_SmtpServer.EnableSsl = true;
_SmtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(\"username\", \"password\");
_SmtpServer.Timeout = 5000;
_SmtpServer.UseDefaultCredentials = false;

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.From = new MailAddress(from);
mail.To.Add(to);
mail.CC.Add(cc);
mail.Subject = subject;
mail.Body = content;
mail.IsBodyHtml = useHtml;
_SmtpServer.Send(mail);

times out:

I googled around and found that System.Net.Mail supports connections on port 587 (default port for Explicit SSL that starts unencrypted then issues a STARTDLS then switches to an Encrypted connection: RFC 2228), but doesn\'t support Implicit SSL (entire connection is wrapped in an SSL layer)...

Here is an example of how to send email through GMail which also uses SSL/465. Minor tweaking of the code below should work!

using System.Web.Mail;
using System;
public class MailSender
{
    public static bool SendEmail(
        string pGmailEmail, 
        string pGmailPassword, 
        string pTo, 
        string pSubject,
        string pBody, 
        System.Web.Mail.MailFormat pFormat,
        string pAttachmentPath)
    {
    try
    {
        System.Web.Mail.MailMessage myMail = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();
        myMail.Fields.Add
            (\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver\",
                          \"smtp.gmail.com\");
        myMail.Fields.Add
            (\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport\",
                          \"465\");

            (\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing\",
                          \"2\");
        //sendusing: cdoSendUsingPort, value 2, for sending the message using

             \"true\");
        myMail.From = pGmailEmail;
        myMail.To = pTo;
        myMail.Subject = pSubject;
        myMail.BodyFormat = pFormat;
        myMail.Body = pBody;
        if (pAttachmentPath.Trim() != \"\")
        {
            MailAttachment MyAttachment = 
                    new MailAttachment(pAttachmentPath);
            myMail.Attachments.Add(MyAttachment);
            myMail.Priority = System.Web.Mail.MailPriority.High;
        }

        System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = \"smtp.gmail.com:465\";
        System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(myMail);
        return true;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        throw;
    }
}
}

I\'m late to this party but I\'ll offer my approach for any passersby that might be interested in an alternative.

As noted in previous answers, the System.Net.Mail SmtpClient class does not support Implicit SSL. It does support Explicit SSL, which requires an insecure connection to the SMTP server over port 25 in order to negotiate the transport level security (TLS). I blogged about my travails with this subtlety here.

In short, SMTP over Implict SSL port 465 requires TLS to be negotiated before connecting to the SMTP server. Rather than write a .Net SMTPS implementation I turned to a utility named Stunnel. It\'s a small service that will let you redirect traffic on a local port to a remote port via SSL.

DISCLAIMER: Stunnel uses portions of the OpenSSL library, which recently had a high-profile exploit published in all major tech news media. I believe the latest version uses the patched OpenSSL but please use at your own risk.

Once the utility is installed a small addition to the configuration file:

; Example SSL client mode services
[my-smtps]
client = yes
accept = 127.0.0.1:465
connect = mymailserver.com:465

...instructs the Stunnel service to reroute local requests to port 465 to my mail server on port 465. This happens over TLS, which satisfies the SMTP server on the other end.

Using this utility, the following code will successfully transmit over port 465:

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Mail;

namespace RSS.SmtpTest
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main( string[] args )
        {
            try {
                using( SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient( \"localhost\", 465 ) ) { // <-- note the use of localhost
                    NetworkCredential creds = new NetworkCredential( \"username\", \"password\" );
                    smtpClient.Credentials = creds;
                    MailMessage msg = new MailMessage( \"[e-mail]\", \"[e-mail]\", \"Test\", \"This is a test\" );
                    smtpClient.Send( msg );
                }
            }
            catch( Exception ex ) {
                Console.WriteLine( ex.Message );
            }
        }
    }
}

So the advantage here is that you can use Implict SSL and port 465 as the security protocol while still using the send mail methods built into the framework. The disadvantage is that it requires the use of a third party service that may not be useful for anything but this specific function.

回答3:

It works with System.Web.Mail (which is marked as obsolete):

private const string SMTP_SERVER        = \"http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver\";
private const string SMTP_SERVER_PORT   = \"http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport\";
private const string SEND_USING         = \"http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing\";
private const string SMTP_USE_SSL       = \"http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl\";
private const string SMTP_AUTHENTICATE  = \"http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate\";
private const string SEND_USERNAME      = \"http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername\";
private const string SEND_PASSWORD      = \"http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword\";

System.Web.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();

mail.Fields[SMTP_SERVER] = \"tempurl.org\";
mail.Fields[SMTP_SERVER_PORT] = 465;
mail.Fields[SEND_USING] = 2;
mail.Fields[SMTP_USE_SSL] = true;
mail.Fields[SMTP_AUTHENTICATE] = 1;
mail.Fields[SEND_USERNAME] = \"username\";
mail.Fields[SEND_PASSWORD] = \"password\";

System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(mail);

What is your point of view regarding obsolete namespace usage?

Try to check this free an open source alternative https://www.nuget.org/packages/AIM It is free to use and open source and uses the exact same way that System.Net.Mail is using To send email to implicit ssl ports you can use following code

public static void SendMail()
{    
    var mailMessage = new MimeMailMessage();
    mailMessage.Subject = \"test mail\";
    mailMessage.Body = \"hi dude!\";
    mailMessage.Sender = new MimeMailAddress(\"[e-mail]\", \"your name\");
    mailMessage.To.Add(new MimeMailAddress(\"[e-mail]\", \"your friendd\'s name\")); 
// You can add CC and BCC list using the same way
    mailMessage.Attachments.Add(new MimeAttachment(\"your file address\"));

//Mail Sender (Smtp Client)

    var emailer = new SmtpSocketClient();
    emailer.Host = \"your mail server address\";
    emailer.Port = 465;
    emailer.SslType = SslMode.Ssl;
    emailer.User = \"mail sever user name\";
    emailer.Password = \"mail sever password\" ;
    emailer.AuthenticationMode = AuthenticationType.Base64;
    // The authentication types depends on your server, it can be plain, base 64 or none. 
//if you do not need user name and password means you are using default credentials 
// In this case, your authentication type is none            
    emailer.MailMessage = mailMessage;
    emailer.OnMailSent += new SendCompletedEventHandler(OnMailSent);
    emailer.SendMessageAsync();
}

// A simple call back function:
private void OnMailSent(object sender, AsyncCompletedEventArgs asynccompletedeventargs)
{
if (e.UserState!=null)
    Console.Out.WriteLine(e.UserState.ToString());
if (e.Error != null)
{
    MessageBox.Show(e.Error.Message, \"Error\", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
}
else if (!e.Cancelled)
{
    MessageBox.Show(\"Send successfull!\", \"Information\", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
}
}

In VB.NET while trying to connect to Rackspace\'s SSL port on 465 I encountered the same issue (requires implicit SSL). I made use of https://www.nuget.org/packages/MailKit/ in order to successfully connect.

The following is an example of an HTML email message.

Imports MailKit.Net.Smtp
Imports MailKit
Imports MimeKit

Sub somesub()
    Dim builder As New BodyBuilder()
    Dim mail As MimeMessage
    mail = New MimeMessage()
    mail.From.Add(New MailboxAddress(\"\", c_MailUser))
    mail.To.Add(New MailboxAddress(\"\", c_ToUser))
    mail.Subject = \"Mail Subject\"
    builder.HtmlBody = \"<html><body>Body Text\"
    builder.HtmlBody += \"</body></html>\"
      mail.Body = builder.ToMessageBody()

      Using client As New SmtpClient
        client.Connect(c_MailServer, 465, True)
        client.AuthenticationMechanisms.Remove(\"XOAUTH2\") \' Do not use OAUTH2
        client.Authenticate(c_MailUser, c_MailPassword) \' Use a username / password to authenticate.
        client.Send(mail)
        client.Disconnect(True)
    End Using 

End Sub

If it\'s Implicit SSL, it looks like it can\'t be done with System.Net.Mail and isn\'t supported as of yet.

http://blogs.msdn.com/webdav_101/archive/2008/06/02/system-net-mail-with-ssl-to-authenticate-against-port-465.aspx

To check if it\'s Implicit SSL try this.

回答7:

You can also connect via port 465, but due to some limitations of the System.Net.Mail namespace you may have to alter your code. This is because the namespace does not offer the ability to make implicit SSL connections. This is discussed at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdav_101/archive/2008/06/02/system-net-mail-with-ssl-to-authenticate-against-port-465.aspx.

It is possible to make implicit connections without having to use the now obsolete System.Web.Mail namespace, but you have to access the Microsoft CDO (Collaborative Data Object). I have supplied an example of how to use the CDO in another discussion (GMail SMTP via C# .Net errors on all ports).

Hope this helps!

回答8:

I know I\'m joining late to the discussion, but I think this can be useful to others.

I wanted to avoid deprecated stuff and after a lot of fiddling I found a simple way to send to servers requiring Implicit SSL: use NuGet and add the MailKit package to the project. (I used VS2017 targetting .NET 4.6.2 but it should work on lower .NET versions...)

Then you\'ll only need to do something like this:

using MailKit.Net.Smtp;
using MimeKit;

var client = new SmtpClient();
client.Connect(\"server.name\", 465, true);

// Note: since we don\'t have an OAuth2 token, disable the XOAUTH2 authentication mechanism.
client.AuthenticationMechanisms.Remove (\"XOAUTH2\");

if (needsUserAndPwd)
{
    // Note: only needed if the SMTP server requires authentication
    client.Authenticate (user, pwd);
}

var msg = new MimeMessage();
msg.From.Add(new MailboxAddress(\"[e-mail]\"));
msg.To  .Add(new MailboxAddress(\"[e-mail]\"));
msg.Subject = \"This is a test subject\";

msg.Body = new TextPart(\"plain\") {
    Text = \"This is a sample message body\"
};

client.Send(msg);
client.Disconnect(true);

Of course you can also tweak it to use Explicit SSL or no transport security at all.

As stated in a comment at

http://blogs.msdn.com/webdav_101/archive/2008/06/02/system-net-mail-with-ssl-to-authenticate-against-port-465.aspx

with System.Net.Mail, use port 25 instead of 465:

You must set SSL=true and Port=25. Server responds to your request from unprotected 25 and then throws connection to protected 465.

For gmail these settings worked for me, the ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol line was necessary. Because I has setup 2 step verification I needed get a App Password from google app password generator. SmtpClient mailer = new SmtpClient(); mailer.Host = \"smtp.gmail.com\"; mailer.Port = 587; mailer.EnableSsl = true; ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls;
