I would guess that it is having trouble resolving the smtp.gmail.com, so you might need to put in the IP address. The port is also not that standard smtp port. Normally it is 25. Hope that helps. Ben

Hi, the SMTP mail is blocked by the virus scan. so follow this step and check it out . go to VirusScan Console - Right-click Access Protection - Click "Properties" - Go to Port-Blocking tab - Select Rule: "Prevent mass mailing worms from sending mail" - Click Edit (in order to edit this rule) - Add "aspnet_wp.exe" to the exclusion list Other products such as Norton and other antiviral or firewall software may cause the same issue, but I'll bet the underlying issue is the same. Hope this helps others out there.

With Regards, Sakthi

Not sure what the error means, but I am guessing you need to find another smtp server to send your email from. Ben
