Re: sending an email from windows application .net 2.0

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Ged,

Thanks for the reply. I am sure that our exchange server will allow to
send emails through smtp. We have a .net 1.1 windows application which uses
chilkat.net dll to send the emails. when i looked at the code, I saw that we
are setting a property smtphost. so I think our exchange server 2007 will
send emails via smtp.

Regarding the exchange server using port 25 I tested this using telnet. when
I do telnet exchangeipaddress 25 it is connected. but I did this test on
another machine. when I do the same test on my computer it says "could not
opeb connection to the host on port 25"

Like I said before I am using windows vista business edition. I am thinking
that the firewall is blocking it or something like that. I am not knowing how
to unblock.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Hi Sridhar

Looking at the error stack, the line

"System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the
target machine actively refused it"

sticks out for me.

So, a couple of questions.

1. Does the exchange server allow you to send using SMTP ?
2. Is Exchange listening on port 25 ?
3. Are your credentials correct?

I would get a standard mail client (i.e. Windows Mail, Thunderbird etc) and
see if it can send email via exchange server using SMTP.

Hi,

I have created a windows application to send emails using vs 2005 in
vb.net. I am having problems sending the emails. The operating system on
which this application is run is windows vista business. we have an
exchange
server 2007 that is in the same network. I am trying to send the emails
using
the exchange server with the following code.

Private Sub btnSendEmail_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnSendEmail.Click
Dim errMsg As String
Dim ToAddress As String
Dim FromAddress As String
'Dim mailman As New Chilkat.MailMan
Try
ToAddress = "to@xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
FromAddress = "from@xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Dim mm As New MailMessage(FromAddress, ToAddress)

mm.Subject = "Test"
mm.Body = "Test Email"
mm.IsBodyHtml = False

Dim smtp As New SmtpClient
smtp.Host = "exchangeserver ip address"
smtp.Port = 25
'smtp.se()
smtp.Credentials = New
System.Net.NetworkCredential("exchangeserveripaddress\myusername",
"mypassword")
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = False
smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network
Try
smtp.Send(mm)
Catch ex As Exception
errMsg = ex.ToString()
End Try

Catch ex As Exception

End Try

Following is the error that I am receiving when I run the code.

System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Failure sending mail. --->

I am not knowing how to debug this. Please let me know.

Thanks
