Do you have an exchange server that is running in your PC?
If not you must rely on a mail host.

can u further describe or give me an example code

Hey,

The problem here is that it wasn't able to connect to an SMTP Server, located at IRAM-PC.

Is that computer on your network, and do you have permission to access it?

Can you connect to this SMTP using a third party application first?

Gary

OK , i m using my local pc and using private Internet service ...

Ok, so do you have an SMTP Server running? It does't sound like you have. In which case, you won't be able to send emails.

Gary

thanks gary for all these ,if this is the case i will get back to u on this issue in my later post with certain updates

Sounds like a plan.

Gary

see the link http://www.thesmartcodes.com/a-simpl...-from-asp-net/

can any one see this and see if it is working if i specify (for example my gmail address and password ,username) in the variable mentioned over there ??

and lastly called sendMail function just

last time i checked gmail was working.
You might want to consider smtpclient EnableSsl and Timeout.
Sometimes EnableSsl my give you errors with the certificates.I don't think gmail will do that but have it as a future consideration(my previous company needed this to be false for the mail to work).
Timeout is optional.If your mail fire's right away you can use a low value.The default if i'm not wrong is 1 minute and a half.

i m not getting any error but no mail sending too

I assume you are using SSL.
Try these ports:465 or 25

yes i tried with both ports ,non of them working fine,can u run code at ur side(just to check out comptability of port) and check ??

Hey,

There are lots of different reasons that this could be happening. For instance, your IP address that you are sending from is blacklisted, the emails are going into the junk mail folder, etc, etc.

Gary

http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...n&answer=78775

its not going to junk mail ,i checked

As I mentioned, that is just one of the many reasons that the email might not be coming through. Without knowing specifics about your setup, i.e. what SMTP server you are using, whether SSL is enabled, what ports you are using, what email addresses you are sending to, etc (and even then it might be difficult), we are not going to be able to suggest anything else.

Gary

well working fine with following lines of code with gmail to gmail ,let me share on forum

Code:

---

try
        {
            MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
            mail.To.Add("[email protected]");
            mail.From = new MailAddress(email_of [email protected]);// or could be @gmail.com and etc OR it can be a textbox were you CAN enter your email
            mail.Subject = "Comment/Question";
            string Body = the_textbox_Name_were_you_enter_your_message.text;
                mail.Body = Body;
            mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
            SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
            smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
            smtp.Port = 587;
            smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential
              ("[email protected]", "your password");
            smtp.EnableSsl = true;
            smtp.Send(mail);
         
        }
        catch
        {
           
        }

Hello,

Ok, so this works, which means your code has all the elements that it needs to work.

Now, what are the exact circumstances that it fails in? Which SMTP Server are you using?

Gary

salam erum

Code:

---

Dim MESSAGE As New MailMessage
        Dim client As New SmtpClient("smtpout.asia.secureserver.net")
        client.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "abcdef")

        client.Port = 25

        client.EnableSsl = False

        MESSAGE.From = New MailAddress("[email protected]")
        MESSAGE.To.Add(New MailAddress(TextBox1.Text))


        message.Subject = "abc"

        MESSAGE.Body = "abc"

        client.Send(MESSAGE)

Hello selicon.valley,

The code that you have posted will work in the simplest of cases, however, certain SMTP Servers are more complicated than this, using different ports, settings, etc.

I think this is the problem that the OP is having, and why I asked for the exact situation that this are in.

Gary.

P.S. I have edited your post to include [CODE][/CODE] tags, as this makes it much easier to read code posted into the forums.

walikum salam selicon.valley

can u send me the code that u have in working form in asp.net 3.5 .remember i m using admin account of website, rather than yahoo,hotmail ,google.
