Hi All,

I'm trying to send Email in sitefinity 6.2 but it works only local machine not in live server (windows server 2012)

Method 1:

public void Sendmail(string toEmail)
       
           try
           
               
               MailAddress fromAddress = new MailAddress("abc@gmail.com");
               MailAddress toAddress = new MailAddress(toEmail);
               string subject = "Mail Subject";
               string body = "Mail Body";
 
               EmailSender smtp = EmailSender.Get();
               using (MailMessage message = new MailMessage(fromAddress, toAddress)
               
                   Subject = subject,
                   IsBodyHtml = true,
                   Body = body
               )
               
                   smtp.TrySend(message);
               
 
           
           catch (Exception ex)
           
               MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
           
 
       

Method 2:

public void Sendmail1(string toEmail)
       
           try
           
               SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);
 
               smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("MyEmailID@gmail.com", "gmailPassword");
               smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
               smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
               smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
               MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
 
 
               //Setting From , To and CC
               mail.From = new MailAddress("MyEmailID@gmail.com", "MyWeb Site");
               mail.To.Add(new MailAddress("info@abc.com"));
               smtpClient.Send(mail);
           
           catch (Exception ex)
           
               MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
           
 
       
 

These Two Methods are working in local Machine Perfectly ,

Thanks in Advance

Hi Ajay,

The code you're showing here does not depend on Sitefinity. Is your host Arvixe by any chance? I had a similar issue a few months ago. Arvixe is using implicit SSL to allow connections to their hMailServer (explicit SSL is not supported yet by hMailServer). The Microsoft system.net.mail component does not support this though. The only way Microsoft supports this is through their obsolete system.web.mail, which I did not want to use. I choose to use an external SMTP server to get around this.

If this is indeed the same problem, then email sent from within Sitefinity (such as account confirmation emails) will fail as well. You can't change the Sitefinity code though, so an external server is the way to go there as well.
