Hi,
i want to create a application that send email via gmail, but does not work.
I tried to see if I reached the server smtp.gmail.com on port 465 via telnet (telnet smtp.gmai.com 465) and this works.
Thanks in advance for your help

this is code:
Sub Main()
Dim SmtpServer As New SmtpClient()
SmtpServer.Port = 465
SmtpServer.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"
SmtpServer.EnableSsl = True
SmtpServer.UseDefaultCredentials = False
SmtpServer.Timeout = 8000
SmtpServer.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("mail-from@gmail.com", "Password")

Dim m As New MailMessage
m.To.Add("mail-to@libero.it")
'm.From = New MailAddress("mail-from@gmail.com")
m.Body = "Test Message"
m.Subject = "Test Subject"
Try
SmtpServer.Send(m)
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString())
End Try

End Sub

thanks for your reply, however i have tried with the port 587 but i received immediately the error, while if i use a port 465 i received error before the timeout. then i try a "telnet smtp.gmail.com 587" and the connection is refused.
