sending mails

I managed to send emails but if I change client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com" to client.Host = "smtp.hotmail.com" or client.Host = "smtp.yahoo.com"; it does that works only with gmail namespace mailing { public partial class SendMail : Form { public SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(); public MailMessage msg = new MailMessage(); public NetworkCredential smtpCreds = new NetworkCredential("aa@gmail.com", "aaa"); public SendMail() { InitializeComponent(); } public void SendMails(string sendFrom, string sendTo, string subject, string body) { try { client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; client.Port = 587; client.UseDefaultCredentials = false; client.Credentials = smtpCreds; client.EnableSsl = true; MailAddress to = new MailAddress(sendTo); MailAddress from = new MailAddress(sendFrom); msg.Subject = txtSubject.Text; msg.Body ="<html><body>"+txtMail.Text+"

You have to make sure the port your using matches the specification of those other hosts. Google uses 587 for secured communication to the SMTP server. Hotmail and Yahoo will probably not use the same port numbers. Check with them.

Most SMTP servers require you to be an authorised user (i.e. if I use Clara.net as my ISP, I can use the smtp.clara.net relay, but if you don't, you can't). Gmail allows you to use your Gmail account details to log into SMTP; I'm not sure if Hotmail and Yahoo do something similar but if so, at the minimum, you will have to change the credentials you're trying to use.

Port 587 is a standard for SMTP servers (similar to port 25), usually referred to as the 'submission' port. It's set aside for authenticated users to submit messages to the e-mail service. It typically needs encryption, but I don't believe that's a requirement of the standard. https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2476.txt[^]

If you have a search on Google you may find some free to use public smtp hosts. I did use a one a few years abck for a project - don't recall the name but worth a try.

It may be standard, but that doesn't mean people have to use it. Yahoo uses different ports, depending on which service level your have. I think, last I checked anyway, one is using port 995 and the other 465???

Dave KreskowiakTrue, standards can be ignored but it's worth pointing out that the ports listed weren't just arbitrarily chosen by the service provider. 995 is used for encrypting the POP3 protocol (POP3S, another standard :-D ). Port 465 is an old remnant from Exchange's method of encryption. It's become common due to Outlook/Microsoft's support of Exchange over the Submission port standard in their mail clients. These days, both protocols are supported in Outlook. One other note about 465 is that it will break using System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient due to how the encryption was implemented. See the remarks section at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.mail.smtpclient.enablessl.aspx[^] for the details.

Yeah, but the entire point was he needs to check with each provider to make sure the port settings are correct and hes using the correct connection options.

yes I have already tested it does not work with yahoo and hotmail: Exception: authetification required

So are you using the correct username and password with Yahoo and Hotmail?? I'm gussing your GMail account and password are not going to work with those providers.

Change this line of code:
public NetworkCredential smtpCreds = new NetworkCredential("aa@gmail.com", "aaa");
Note that the credentials are pointing to gmail. You get that when you stare at a passage of code long enough.

Yeah, and I'll say it again. The error message says that the username and password you used to login to the SMTP server were not good credentials. Either the username was spelled wrong or that account doesn't exist on that server or the password you specified for that username wasn't correct.

And of course
John.Doe@hotmail.comis not allowed to send an email with the sender of the email set toJohn.Doe@gmail.com. That's not a requirement of the smtp protocol, but a requirement of any sensible provider, oh spammer!
