Trouble Sending SMTP Email from GoDaddy Hosted ASP.NET Web Forms Application

Question

I am encountering an issue while trying to send emails through an ASP.NET Web Forms application hosted on GoDaddy's server. The goal is to send emails from a Gmail address using C# and the SmtpClient.

using (MailMessage mm = new MailMessage("******@gmail.com", "******@gmail.com"))
{
                mm.Subject = "test";
                mm.Body = "test";
                mm.IsBodyHtml = true;
                SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
                smtp.Host = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net";
                smtp.EnableSsl = true;
                smtp.Port = 25;
                NetworkCredential NetworkCred = new NetworkCredential("******@gmail.com", "XXXXXX");
                smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
                smtp.Credentials = NetworkCred;
                smtp.Send(mm);
}

Answer 1

Hi,

Is there any error message that you see? Please make sure you contact your hosting provider and ask them about correct settings that you need to use.

Answer 2

Hi @81898447

Google Mail's host should be "smtp.gmail.com" and the port is 587.

Change code:

smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
smtp.Port = 587;

Best regards,
Qi You
