    I would like to use an asp.net 1.1 script to send mail through gmail (port 587) from my website. Does discountasp.net block the ability to do this?

    I'm sorry we couldn't get to your post sooner.

    While we don't limit the ability to make an outbound connection to a foreign system from our network, you'll want to make sure that the external server will accept incoming connections from our servers and in the event that you're using a publicly available system such as Gmail, you shouldn't encounter any problems.

    The biggest concern that you might encounter is the requirement of the SMTP authentication credentials being required but if you already have that aspect of things covered, then you shouldn't experience any problems.

    In addition to this you will need to make sure your discountasp account is not on an IIS 7 platform. Our IIS 7 platform only support .Net 2.0 and higher framework. If you are planning to utilize .Net 1.1 framework, you will need to register an account on our IIS 6 platform.
