hi i know this question is a bit redundant but i am experiencing it differently here is my code on sending email after creation of account on asp.net
Dim newreg As MembershipUser = Membership.GetUser(context.Request("username"))
Dim newid As Guid
If newreg.ProviderUserKey IsNot Nothing Then
newid = DirectCast(newreg.ProviderUserKey, Guid)
End If
Dim body As String = String.Empty
Dim reader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(context.Server.MapPath("~/Account/email.htm"))
body = reader.ReadToEnd
body = body.Replace("{UserName}", context.Request("username").ToString)
body = body.Replace("{Url}", "http://wwww.123.com/Account/activate.aspx?id=" & context.Request("username").ToString & "&usertype=" & givetype(context.Request("username")) & "&actid=" & newid.ToString)
Dim mailMessage As MailMessage = New MailMessage
mailMessage.From = New MailAddress(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("UserName"))
mailMessage.Subject = "Account Activation"
mailMessage.Body = body
mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = True
mailMessage.To.Add(New MailAddress(context.Request("email").ToString))
Dim smtp As SmtpClient = New SmtpClient
smtp.Host = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("Host")
smtp.EnableSsl = True
Dim NetworkCred As System.Net.NetworkCredential = New System.Net.NetworkCredential
NetworkCred.UserName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("UserName")
NetworkCred.Password = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("Password")
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = False
smtp.Credentials = NetworkCred
smtp.Port = Integer.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("Port"))
smtp.Send(mailMessage)
the odd thing is when i run the website on localhost gmail allows it but when i run the website on a vps it rejects and gives this error
The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required
any help will do tnx
