I wrote an article in May 2005 on how to send e-mail via ASP.NET v2.0.  This is a quick follow-up to that article with additional information specifically addressing the issue of SMTP-Authentication against a remote mail server.

Many web hosts now have their servers "locked down" and require a username and password to send e-mail from their servers.  If you have code that uses "localhost" (the SMTP service running on the local machine) then this should not be an issue, but if you have a situation where you need to relay e-mail off a remote mail server that is secured, this article should help you.

The real work is done by the NetworkCredential object.  According to MSDN, this object "provides credentials for password-based authentication schemes such as basic, digest, NTLM, and Kerberos authentication."  The benefit of making this a two-step process rather than passing username and password to the .Credentials property of the SmtpClient object is not clear, but that is what is required.

Here is a fully working quick code sample that you can use to get started on your own SMTP-Auth supporting e-mail code.

'Create a new MailMessage object and specify the"From" and "To" addresses
Dim Email As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage( _
   "Brad.Kingsley@orcsweb.com", "Brad@KingsleyTeam.com")
Email.Subject = "test subject"
Email.Body = "this is a test"
Dim mailClient As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient()
'This object stores the authentication values
Dim basicAuthenticationInfo As _
   New System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password")
'Put your own, or your ISPs, mail server name onthis next line
mailClient.Host = "Mail.RemoteMailServer.com"
mailClient.UseDefaultCredentials = False
mailClient.Credentials = basicAuthenticationInfo
mailClient.Send(Email)

I would like to thank Marcus McConnell of BV Software and also Brian Linden from CastAds Inc for their tips on how to integrate the SMTP-Authentication process.

We had a Microsoft exchange server 2003 running and for the life of me i couldn't figure out why it was kicking back my emails.

This worked like a charm for passing the authentication for relay.

You have to set UseDefaultCredentials to false before asigning a new Credentials. Setting UseDefaultCredentials to false after setting Credentials resets Credentials to null.

Hi again,

I just saw a video from Asp.net site and they build an application with login control and the link when users forgot they password.They configured the smtp in application of asp.net administration tool and then when they looked on their email they had a password. I think they made a connection with exchange server 2003. Does anybody has any ideas about that will be helpful?. You can write me here: naim.latifi@gmail.com

my code works fine,and like this:
MailMessage mm = new MailMessage();
mm.From = new MailAddress("from@gmail.com");
mm.To.Add(new MailAddress("to@mail.com"));
mm.Subject = "hi";
mm.Body = "hi";
mm.IsBodyHtml = false;
SmtpClient sc = new SmtpClient();
sc.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
sc.Port = 587;
sc.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("from@gmail.com", "password");
sc.EnableSsl = true;
sc.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
sc.Send(mm);
the main code works fine ,but when i add the line "sc.UseDefaultCredentials =false;" like the article does.it's throw the exception and something like "the server response was XXXX".so just forget about the "sc.UseDefaultCredentials =false;" i don't known why this happen? but for the success delivery of email.maybe you should delete the code line "mailClient.UseDefaultCredentials = False"

Great article, thanks. I'm still getting the "5.7.1 Client was not authenticated". I have tested the connection to the SMTP server using telnet and sent a mail using the same credentials as in my ASPX file. However when connecting via telnet, the username and password have to be base64 encoded. Any ideas appreciated.

I am using code just like this and it has always worked. Using gmail, ssl, etc.. the issue is that the emails ALWAYS come from the user I am using in the credentials, which is generic, and not the email address I add in the "FROM" portion. Anyone had this happen before? Thanks!

One important point to note is that, if DefaultCredentials are not used then "UseDefaultCredentials" property should be set to false before setting the Credentials property. If we set UseDefaultCredentials property after setting the Credentials property then it will throw error saying: "The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required ".
Actually if we dont set the UseDefaultCredentials when we use Credentials property then also it works fine.

Hope this helps... Thanks

It sounds like you are trying to use Yahoo's mail server for the mailClient.Host setting. You cannot do this - they will not allow it because of their spam controls. You should use either your local SMTP service running on your machine, or the SMTP server for your ISP.

That suggests that your SMTP server requires a secure connection. You can force that using:

This article is great!!
However, one can achieve the same results by hardcoding the authentication details in the web.config file, in the system.net section.
Then you can omit all the coding of the host & credentials. They are all loaded from the config from the default constructor. Just do:
Dim mailClient As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient()
mailClient.Send(Email)
and the mail will be sent
