Possible Exact Duplicate: Sending Email in C#.NET Through Gmail
Hi,
I'm trying to
send an email using gmail:
I tried various examples that I found on this site and other sites but I always get the same error:
Unable to connect to the remote server -- System.net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target actively refused it 209.85.147.109:587
public static void Attempt1()
{
var client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
{
Credentials = new NetworkCredential("
[email protected]", "MyPassWord"),
EnableSsl = true
};
client.Send("
[email protected]", "
[email protected]", "test", "testbody");
}
Any ideas?
UPDATE
More details.
Maybe I should say what other attempts I made that gave me the same error:
(Note when i didn't specify a port it tryed port 25)
public static void Attempt2()
{
var fromAddress = new MailAddress("
[email protected]", "From Name");
var toAddress = new MailAddress("
[email protected]", "To Name");
const string fromPassword = "pass";
const string subject = "Subject";
const string body = "Body";
var smtp = new SmtpClient
{
Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
Port = 587,
EnableSsl = true,
DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
UseDefaultCredentials = false,
Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress.Address, fromPassword)
};
using (var message = new MailMessage(fromAddress, toAddress)
{
Subject = subject,
Body = body
}
) { smtp.Send(message); }
}
public static void Attempt3()
{
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.To.Add("
[email protected]");
mail.From = new MailAddress("
[email protected]");
mail.Subject = "Email using Gmail";
string Body = "Hi, this mail is to test sending mail" +
"using Gmail in ASP.NET";
mail.Body = Body;
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential
("
[email protected]", "pass");
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.Send(mail);
}
