Imports System.Net.Mail

Public Class AskRabbi
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    End Sub

    Protected Sub btnSend_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSend.Click
        Try
            Dim Smtp_Server As New SmtpClient
            Dim msg As New MailMessage()
            Smtp_Server.UseDefaultCredentials = False
            Smtp_Server.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("myemail@gmail.com", "mypassowrd")
            Smtp_Server.Port = 587
            Smtp_Server.EnableSsl = True
            Smtp_Server.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"

            msg = New MailMessage()
            msg.From = New MailAddress(txtEmail.Text)
            msg.Subject = txtSubject.Text
            msg.IsBodyHtml = False
            msg.Body = txtMessage.Text
            Smtp_Server.Send(msg)

Hi, a project I'm working on required that I implement a contact page and the one I developed works fine, here's the code.

var sender = contact.Email;

            var email = new MailMessage();
            email.To.Add(new MailAddress("arnaldo.skywalker@gmail.com"));
            email.From = new MailAddress("arnaldo.skywalker@gmail.com");
            email.Subject = form["Tipo de contacto"] + " de " + sender;
            email.Body = contact.Message;
            email.IsBodyHtml = true;
            email.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;

            var smtp = new SmtpClient
                           {
                               Host = "192.168.145.209",
                               Port = 25,
                               EnableSsl = false,
                               UseDefaultCredentials = false,
                               Credentials = new NetworkCredential("arnaldo.skywalker@gmail.com", "caca$23")
                           };

            try
            {
                smtp.Send(email);

                var verificationEmail = new MailMessage();
                verificationEmail.To.Add(new MailAddress(sender));
                verificationEmail.From = new MailAddress("arnaldo@caudal.cu");
                verificationEmail.Subject = "Su " + form["Tipo de contacto"] + " será atendida " + sender;
                verificationEmail.Body = "Atenderemos su " + form["Tipo de contacto"] + " a la mayor brevedad posible";
                verificationEmail.IsBodyHtml = true;
                verificationEmail.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;

                smtp.Send(verificationEmail);

                email.Dispose();
                verificationEmail.Dispose();
                ViewData["Message"] = "Su mensaje ha sido enviado satisfactoriamente";
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
