SMTP email message with SSL not working with GoDaddy email address in ASP.NET

Leave a Comment

When I try to send STMP email in ASP.NET using SSL on my new GoDaddy email address, it does not work. I receive an error message saying Unable to read data from the transport connection: net_io_connectionclosed.

Here are the email settings for the server:

enter image description here

Here's the snippet from my web.config with the email server information:

<system.net>   <mailSettings>     <smtp from="no-reply@mysite.com" >       <network host="smtpout.secureserver.net" port="465" userName="no-reply@mysite.com" password="password123" enableSsl="true" />     </smtp>   </mailSettings> </system.net> 

And here's the C# code that sends the email.

MailMessage message = new MailMessage(); message.To.Add(new MailAddress(to)); message.Subject = "Message from " + inputModel.Name; message.Body = body; message.IsBodyHtml = true;  using (var smtp = new SmtpClient()) {     smtp.Send(message); } 

Ports 80, 3535, and 25 work fine without SSL, but none of the four work with SSL. I even tried port 587 with SSL, and after quite a long time it just times out.

How can I get these emails to send using SSL?

Much about this in this older question, including the description of the problem - that SmtpClient only supports "explicit SSL", and you need to do "implicit SSL" to just talk SSL on port 465 directly.

A better and more modern approach than those options discussed there, is to use a well maintained library that has implicit SSL support. MailKit would be a good way to go for this.

Alternatively, consider using a third-party email relay service, such as SendGrid, Mandrill, Mailgun, and others. Doing so will greatly improve your odds of users to actually receive your mail in their inbox rather than a spam/junk folder.

From your Screenshot i'm assuming your site is hosted outside the godaddy so then you can use "smtpout.secureserver.net" .

if your site hosted on godaddy then you need to change config as follows:

 <system.net>       <mailSettings>        <smtp from="no-reply@mysite.com">         <network host="relay-hosting.secureserver.net"/>        </smtp>       </mailSettings>     </system.net> 

If you want to use Explicit ssl Try to change the Port From 465 to 587

For Implicit SSL we used netimplicitssl :

here is the sample taken from this answer

var mailMessage = new MimeMailMessage(); mailMessage.Subject = "test mail"; mailMessage.Body = "hi dude!"; mailMessage.Sender = new MimeMailAddress("you@gmail.com", "your name"); mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true; mailMessage.To.Add(new MimeMailAddress("yourfriend@gmail.com", "your friendd's name"));  mailMessage.Attachments.Add(new MimeAttachment("your file address")); var emailer = new SmtpSocketClient(); emailer.Host = "your mail server address"; emailer.Port = 465; emailer.EnableSsl = true; emailer.User = "mail sever user name"; emailer.Password = "mail sever password" ; emailer.AuthenticationMode = AuthenticationType.PlainText; emailer.MailMessage = mailMessage; emailer.OnMailSent += new SendCompletedEventHandler(OnMailSent); //Send email emailer.SendMessageAsync();  // A simple call back function: private void OnMailSent(object sender, AsyncCompletedEventArgs asynccompletedeventargs) {     Console.Out.WriteLine(asynccompletedeventargs.UserState.ToString()); }
