Using ASP.NET to Send Mail to Discountasp

[stockpicker]

I am not able to use the mail class to send mail to or from my discountasp mail account. I am using c#.

This is what I am trying:

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

mail.IsBodyHtml = true;

//set the addresses
mail.From = new MailAddress(strUserEmail);
mail.To.Add(new MailAddress("Support@StockPickerMax.com"));

//set the content
mail.Subject = "Error Notice - StockPickerMax";
mail.Body = strBody;

//send the message
if (strConnection.Contains("StockProSQL")) // Local server
{
// do not send mail;
}
else // Remote server
{
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.stockpickermax.com", 8889);

smtp.Send(mail);
}

This is the error:

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 64.79.170.142:8889
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request.

Exception Details: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 64.79.170.142:8889

Source Error:


Line 182: SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.stockpickermax.com", 8889);
Line 183:
Line 184: smtp.Send(mail);
Line 185: }
Line 186: conStockSelect.Close();

I received the following from discountasp support:

You will either have to use "localhost" which doesn't require authentication when sending, or you'll have to use your SMTP server (smtp.stockpickermax.com) using a valid email address (ie. User@stockpickermax.com) with the password to the account.

------

"localhost" does not work for me.

I need toknow how to code the following:

or you'll have to use your SMTP server (smtp.stockpickermax.com) using a valid email address (ie. User@stockpickermax.com) with the password to the account.

Thanks,

When you use 'localhost' as your SMTP server, leave the username and password blank (i.e. don't set them).

The following code resolved this for me.

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.stockpickermax.com", 25);
NetworkCredential Credentials = new NetworkCredential("support@stockpickermax.com", "mypassword");
smtp.Credentials = Credentials;

smtp.Send(mail);
