I tried hard looking my problem in the internet but i cant find the solution.its saying 'No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:25'

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("127.0.0.1", 25);
MailMessage message = new MailMessage("no-reply@test.com", "markspiteri1@gmail.com", "Subject subbbbb", "bodyy");
client.Send(message);

try this...

string subject = "mention subject here";
        try
        {
            
            string emailTo = "uremail";
            string emailfrom="uremail";
            string body = "urbody";
            MailMessage objmail = new MailMessage(emailfrom, emailTo, subject,body);
 

            SmtpClient smtpclnt = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);
            smtpclnt.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
 
            smtpclnt.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
            smtpclnt.EnableSsl = true;
            smtpclnt.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password");
            smtpclnt.Send(objmail);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
           
        }
