What is the message that is shown, along with "Failure sending mail"?

Also note that you should never share your username and password (even with one or two characters removed) on the internet. It's for your own privacy!

That is because of the port you're using and the server isn't responding to the request of yours at that port. Change the port to 25 and then retry. I have always used 25, and it always worked.

I have tried port 25, 465 and 587 all was not working and the error was same as above. Please see i have updated my Q and full error

Solution 1

You need to verify the GoDaddy SMTP settings first. Majority of the times, you will get error due to setting up an incorrect settings.

Also try to debug the code with try..catch block and track the inner exception.

How to verify GoDaddy SMTP setting in plesk hosting.

Solution 2

Hi
Before coding

Check if you are able to send email using the SMTP server , check the ports , in this case port 587.
Usually it's 25(SMTP) , 465(SMTP with SSL).

You can telnet

telnet <serve> <port>

You can also try to send email using telnet.

               MailAddress address = new MailAddress("user@mydomain.com");
               msg.From = address;
               msg.Subject = "anything";
               msg.Body = "anything";

               //Configure an SmtpClient to send the mail.
               SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
               client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
               client.EnableSsl = false;
               client.Host = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net";
               client.Port = 25;

               //Setup credentials to login to our sender email address ("UserName", "Password")
               NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential("user@mydomain.com", "Password");
               client.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
               client.Credentials = credentials;

               //Send the msg
               client.Send(msg);

               Label1.Text = "Your message was sent!";
           }
           catch (Exception ex)
           {
               //If the message failed at some point, let the user know
               Label1.Text = ex.ToString();
               //"Your message failed to send, please try again."
           }

The solution to this is to not send email from gmail's smtp servers, send them through GoDaddy's smtp server.
