Send email using smtpClient and smtpserver other than smtp.gmail.com

Question

I searched and came across many codes demonstrating mail sending using gmail's smtp with c#

Here is my smtpclient configured to send email.

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient
{
    Host = MailSettings.SMTP, // smtp server address here...
    Port = 465,
    EnableSsl = true,
    DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
    Credentials = credentials,
    Timeout = 30000,
    UseDefaultCredentials = false
};

This code works very fine with host as smtp.gmail.com

But when it comes to other Hosts, it fails.

It doesnt send mails.

Can anyone help me with this.

It may be using other ports, not using SSL, etc. Did you check those things for the "other" SMTP host? — crashmstr, Aug 25 '14 at 14:53
you need to check specific settings for other hosts e.g. port, host name, enablessl, credentials etc — Nitin Sawant, Aug 25 '14 at 14:54
It doesn't work isn't very specific. What is the error message? — Patrick Hofman, Aug 25 '14 at 14:54
@patrick Hofman. No error message. But mail is not received at the recepient — MARKAND Bhatt, Aug 25 '14 at 14:56
you need to understand that not all smtp servers use the same Port as well as SSL have you done a google search on System.Mail..? — MethodMan, Aug 25 '14 at 14:56
If there is no error, is the service just slow? Many services will retry several times over he course of a day before you get your error message. — Jon Jay Obermark, Aug 25 '14 at 15:00

Can you give more details about the error you are getting? Several things can cause this:

Server Configuration: are the ports correct? the server does not require authentication? the server supports ssl?
SSL Certificate: the certificate is self-signed? If so you should look here;
