I am using the code as described in this question. However get following error when send an email.
Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: please authenticate to
use this mail server
Any ideas what could be wrong?
UPATE: Here is the code
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient Client = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();
MailMessage Message = new MailMessage("From", "To", "Subject", "Body");
Client.Send(Message);
With following in App.config.
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="support#MyDomain1.com">
<network host="smtp.MyDomain1.com" port="111" userName="abc" password="helloPassword1" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
The code posted there should work. if it doesn't, you might try setting the username and password in code-behind rather than reading them from the web.config.
Code sample from systemnetmail.com:
static void Authenticate()
{
//create the mail message
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
//set the addresses
mail.From = new MailAddress("me#mycompany.com");
mail.To.Add("you#yourcompany.com");
//set the content
mail.Subject = "This is an email";
mail.Body = "this is the body content of the email.";
//send the message
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("127.0.0.1");
//to authenticate we set the username and password properites on the SmtpClient
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "secret");
smtp.Send(mail);
}
Yes, the smtp server is telling you that in order to relay email for you, you need to authenticate before attempting to send the email. If you have an account with the smptp server, you can set the credentials on the SmtpClient object accordingly. Depending on the authentication mechanism supported by the smtp server, the port, etc, will be different.
Example from MSDN:
public static void CreateTestMessage1(string server, int port)
{
string to = "jane#contoso.com";
string from = "ben#contoso.com";
string subject = "Using the new SMTP client.";
string body = #"Using this new feature, you can send an e-mail message from an application very easily.";
MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to, subject, body);
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(server, port);
// Credentials are necessary if the server requires the client
// to authenticate before it will send e-mail on the client's behalf.
client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
try {
client.Send(message);
}
catch (Exception ex) {
Console.WriteLine("Exception caught in CreateTestMessage1(): {0}",
ex.ToString() );
}
}
The bottom line is that your credentials are not being passed to the Smtp server or else you wouldn't be getting that error.

I am trying to send mail through Gmail. I am sending mail successfully when I am testing on localhost, but this does not work when I upload it to a web host. I am seeing this type of error:
Request for the permission of type System.Net.Mail.SmtpPermission, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed.
Whenever I am using port 25 get this type of error below:
The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required
Below is my code of send email.
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage("host#gmail.com","User#gamil.com");
SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
mail.Subject = "Any String"
mail.Body = mailbody;
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
SmtpServer.Port = 587;
SmtpServer.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
SmtpServer.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
SmtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("xyz#gmail.com","123");
SmtpServer.EnableSsl = true;
SmtpServer.Send(mail);
Is there any solution? Please suggest to me!
Edit: OP Added extra information crucial to answering this question, but I'm keeping the old answer around as it might still help someone
New Answer:
This StackOverflow question already answered this question
OldAnswer:
As this StackOverflow answer already answered, you changed the Port on the SMTP Server to 587 instead of its default (25) and this requires elevated permissions causing this error change this:
SmtpServer.Port = 587;
to this:
SmtpServer.Port = 25;
and it should work
Note: When using SSL the port needs to be 443
Answer : Your code add SmtpDeliveryFormat.SevenBit
Example:
using (SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient())
{
NetworkCredential credential = new NetworkCredential
{
UserName = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["UserName"],
Password = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Password"],
};
smtp.Credentials = credential;
smtp.DeliveryMethod = System.Net.Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtp.DeliveryFormat = SmtpDeliveryFormat.SevenBit;
smtp.Host = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Host"];
smtp.Port = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Port"].ToNcInt();
smtp.EnableSsl = Convert.ToBoolean(WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["EnableSsl"]);
smtp.Send(mail);
}
Try This
using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Mail;
namespace AmazonSESSample
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Replace sender#example.com with your "From" address.
// This address must be verified with Amazon SES.
String FROM = "a#a.com";
String FROMNAME = "ABC";
// Replace recipient#example.com with a "To" address. If your account
// is still in the sandbox, this address must be verified.
String TO = "a#a.com";
// Replace smtp_username with your Amazon SES SMTP user name.
String SMTP_USERNAME = "a#a.com";
// Replace smtp_password with your Amazon SES SMTP user name.
String SMTP_PASSWORD = "ASJKAJSN";
// (Optional) the name of a configuration set to use for this message.
// If you comment out this line, you also need to remove or comment out
// the "X-SES-CONFIGURATION-SET" header below.
String CONFIGSET = "ConfigSet";
// If you're using Amazon SES in a region other than US West (Oregon),
// replace email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com with the Amazon SES SMTP
// endpoint in the appropriate AWS Region.
String HOST = "smtp-relay.sendinblue.com";
// The port you will connect to on the Amazon SES SMTP endpoint. We
// are choosing port 587 because we will use STARTTLS to encrypt
// the connection.
int PORT = 587;
// The subject line of the email
String SUBJECT =
"Amazon SES test (SMTP interface accessed using C#)";
// The body of the email
String BODY =
"<h1>Amazon SES Test</h1>" +
"<p>This email was sent through the " +
"<a href='https://aws.amazon.com/ses'>Amazon SES</a> SMTP interface " +
"using the .NET System.Net.Mail library.</p>";
// Create and build a new MailMessage object
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.IsBodyHtml = true;
message.From = new MailAddress(FROM, FROMNAME);
message.To.Add(new MailAddress(TO));
message.Subject = SUBJECT;
message.Body = BODY;
// Comment or delete the next line if you are not using a configuration set
message.Headers.Add("X-SES-CONFIGURATION-SET", CONFIGSET);
using (var client = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient(HOST, PORT))
{
// Pass SMTP credentials
client.Credentials =
new NetworkCredential(SMTP_USERNAME, SMTP_PASSWORD);
// Enable SSL encryption
client.EnableSsl = true;
// Try to send the message. Show status in console.
try
{
Console.WriteLine("Attempting to send email...");
client.Send(message);
Console.WriteLine("Email sent!");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("The email was not sent.");
Console.WriteLine("Error message: " + ex.Message);

I am beginner and don't have any idea to send emails using our own smtp server. I am trying to send Email using my SMTP server. and here is my code
public void SendEmail(string to, string subject, string body)
{
var fromaddr = FromAddress;
var password = Password;
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage
{
Subject = subject,
From = new MailAddress(fromaddr),
Body = body
};
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress(to));
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient
{
Host = SmtpHost,
Port = 25,
UseDefaultCredentials = true,
EnableSsl = false
};
NetworkCredential nc = new NetworkCredential(fromaddr, password);
smtp.Credentials = nc;
smtp.Send(msg);
}
and in SmtpHost i store "localhost". and i have also installed smtp on my web server. and in iis if i choose "store in email directory". i got emails in given directory but if i choose deliver email to smtp server then i won't receive any email in my inbox.
on this option i am giving these values
smtp server : localhost
use localhost : checked
post : 25
authentication settings : not required
can you help me out?
I have a web application using ASP.net and C#,in one step it will need
from the user to
send an email to someone with an attachments.
my problem is when the user will send the email i don't want to put their
password every time the user send.
i want to send an email without the password of the sender.
any way to do that using SMTP ?
and this is a sample of my code "not all".
the code is worked correctly when i put my password , but without it ,it
is not work, i need a way to send emails without put the password but
in the same time using smtp protocol.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string smtpAddress = "smtp.office365.com";
int portNumber = 587;
bool enableSSL = true;
string emailFrom = "my email";
string password = "******";
string emailTo = "receiver mail";
string subject = "Hello";
string body = "Hello, I'm just writing this to say Hi!";
using (MailMessage mail = new MailMessage())
{
mail.From = new MailAddress(emailFrom);
mail.To.Add(emailTo);
mail.Subject = subject;
mail.Body = body;
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
// Can set to false, if you are sending pure text.
// mail.Attachments.Add(new Attachment("C:\\SomeFile.txt"));
// mail.Attachments.Add(new Attachment("C:\\SomeZip.zip"));
using (SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(smtpAddress,portNumber))
{
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(emailFrom, password);
smtp.EnableSsl = enableSSL;
smtp.Send(mail);
}
MessageBox.Show("message sent");
}
}
I believe this can be accomplished easily, but with some restrictions.
Have a look at the MSDN article on configuring SMTP in your config file.
If your SMTP server allows it, your email object's from address may not need to be the same as the credentials used to connect to the SMTP server.
So, set the from address of your email object as you already are:
mail.From = new MailAddress(emailFrom);
But, configure your smtp connection one of two ways:
Set your app to run under an account that has permission to access the SMTP server
Include credentials for the SMTP server in your config, like this.
Then, just do something like this:
using (SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient())
{
smtp.Send(mail);
}
Let the configuration file handle setting up SMTP for you. This is also great because you don't need to change any of your code if you switch servers.
Just remember to be careful with any sensitive settings in your config file! (AKA, don't check them into a public github repo)
I want to send mail using SmtpClient class, but it not work.
Code:
SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(obMailSetting.UserName, obMailSetting.Password);
smtpClient.Host = obMailSetting.HostMail;
smtpClient.Port = obMailSetting.Port;
smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtpClient.EnableSsl = obMailSetting.Connect_Security;//true
//smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true;//It would work if i uncomment this line
smtpClient.Send(email);
It throws an exception:
The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated
I'm sure that username and password is correct. Is there any problem in my code?
Thanks.
You can try this :
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.Subject = "Your Subject";
mail.From = new MailAddress("senderMailAddress");
mail.To.Add("ReceiverMailAddress");
mail.Body = "Hello! your mail content goes here...";
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
NetworkCredential netCre =
new NetworkCredential("SenderMailAddress","SenderPassword" );
smtp.Credentials = netCre;
try
{
smtp.Send(mail);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Handle exception here
}
You can try this out :
In the Exchange Management Console, under the Server Configuration node, select Hub Transport and the name of the server. In the Receive Connectors pane, open either of the Recive Connectors (my default installation created 2) or you can create a new one just for TFS (I also tried this and it worked). For any of these connectors, open Properties and on the Permission Groups tab ensure that Anonymous Users is selected (it's not by default).
Or
You can also try this by initializing SmtpClient as follows:
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("127.0.0.1");
The server responds with 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated but only if you do not set UseDefaultCredentials to true. This indicates that the NetworkCredential that you are using is in fact wrong.
Either the user name or password is wrong or perhaps you need to specify a domain? You can use another constructor to specify the domain:
new NetworkCredential("MyUserName", "MyPassword", "MyDomain");
Or perhaps the user that you specify does not have the necessary rights to send mail on the SMTP server but then I would expect another server response.
i am using using System.Net.Mail;
and following code to send mail
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
// Set the sender's address
message.From = new MailAddress("fromAddress");
// Allow multiple "To" addresses to be separated by a semi-colon
if (toAddress.Trim().Length > 0)
{
foreach (string addr in toAddress.Split(';'))
{
message.To.Add(new MailAddress(addr));
}
}
// Allow multiple "Cc" addresses to be separated by a semi-colon
if (ccAddress.Trim().Length > 0)
{
foreach (string addr in ccAddress.Split(';'))
{
message.CC.Add(new MailAddress(addr));
}
}
// Set the subject and message body text
message.Subject = subject;
message.Body = messageBody;
// Set the SMTP server to be used to send the message
client.Host = "YourMailServer";
// Send the e-mail message
client.Send(message);
for Host i am providing client.Host = "localhost";
for this its falling with error
No connection could be made because the target machine actively
refused it some_ip_address_here
and when i use client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
i get following error
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not
properly respond after a period of time, or established connection
failed because connected host has failed to respond
i am not able to send mail through localhost.
Please help me out, i am new to c# please correct me in code where i am going wrong..?
Here is some code that works for sending mail via gmail (code from somewhere here on stackoverflow. It is similar to the code here: Gmail: How to send an email programmatically):
using (var client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
{
Credentials = new NetworkCredential("yourmail#gmail.com", "yourpassword"),
EnableSsl = true
})
{
client.Send("frommail#gmail.com", "tomail#gmail.com", "subject", message);
}
For sending mail from client.Host = "localhost" you need set up local SMTP server.
For sending mail via Google (or via any other SMTP server, including your own local SMTP) you must set username, password, ssl settings - all as required by SMTP server chosen, and you need to read their help for this.
For example Google says that you need SSL, port 465 or 587, server smtp.gmail.com and your username and password.
You can assign all this values in .config file.
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp>
<network host="smtp.gmail.com" enableSsl="true" port="587" userName="yourname#gmail.com" password="password" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
Or set to SmtpClient in code before every use:
client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
client.Port = 587;
client.EnableSSL = true;
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("yourname#gmail.com", "password");
Place this code inside a <configuration> </configuration> in web.config file
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp>
<network host="smtp.gmail.com" enableSsl="true" port="587" userName="youremail#gmail.com" password="yourpassword" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
then backend code
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.IsBodyHtml = true;
message.From = new MailAddress("email#gmail.com");
message.To.Add(new MailAddress(TextBoxEadd.Text));
message.CC.Add(new MailAddress("email#gmail.com"));
message.Subject = "New User Registration ! ";
message.Body = "HELLO";
sr.Close();
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Send(message);
I hope this code help you! :)
use this Line..Dont Use Port And HostName
LocalClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis;
I just wanted to add that Gmail now requires App Password in order to use it from other applications. Check this link. I had to find it the hard way. After I created an App Password and then I changed the NetworkCredentials to use it to send emails.
