facing error while sending email from live server.


Date : 5/29/2019 12:27:16 PM

System.Net.Mail.SmtpException
Message : Failure sending mail.
StackTrace : at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message)

What I have tried:

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
smtp.Port = 587;
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("abc@gmail.com", "abc");
smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;

You should use your own SMTP server. Google mail does not generally allow you to use its server in this way.

See Richard Deeming's comments below.

Er, yes it does:
Send email from a printer, scanner, or app - G Suite Admin Help[^]
"Gmail SMTP server — Send mail to anyone inside or outside of your domain. This option requires you to authenticate with your Gmail or G Suite account and password."

I have seen a number of similar issues, and answers from other respected CPians suggest that Google does not always allow this. But, I am happy to stand corrected.

I think they occasionally make you jump through burning hoops for added security. But this one looks more like a DNS issue to me.

What I get when I telnet to that IP and port address:
220 smtp.gmail.com ESMTP q13sm5579886iob.55 - gsmtp
EHLO foobar
250-smtp.gmail.com at your service, [51.9.51.69]
250-SIZE 35882577
250-8BITMIME
250-STARTTLS
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-PIPELINING
250-CHUNKING
250 SMTPUTF8
QUIT
221 2.0.0 closing connection q13sm5579886iob.55 - gsmtp

So DNS seems to be resolving to a valid server IP.

Perhaps it's a firewall issue. Or maybe the source IP has been blacklisted. The error certainly looks like a network issue, rather than a code issue.
