I am running an ASP.Net application on windows azure and I need to send an email from it. I am trying to send it using my gmail account as follows, however when I attempt to send it, I get the following error:
The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required. Learn more at
The code:
private static readonly string EMAIL_ADDRESS = "mymail@gmail.com";
private static readonly string EMAIL_FROM = "MY FROM NAME";
private static readonly string EMAIL_PASS = "my Password";
private static readonly string EMAIL_HOST = "smtp.gmail.com";
private static readonly int EMAIL_PORT = 587;
private static readonly bool EMAIL_SSL = true;
private static readonly SmtpDeliveryMethod EMAIL_DELIVERY_METHOD = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
private static readonly bool EMAIL_DEFAULT_CREDENTIALS = false;
public static void SendEmail(string recipientEmail, string subject, string body) {
var fromAddress = new MailAddress(EMAIL_ADDRESS, EMAIL_FROM);
var toAddress = new MailAddress(recipientEmail, "MY CLIENT NAME");
var smtp = new SmtpClient {
Host = EMAIL_HOST,
Port = EMAIL_PORT,
EnableSsl = EMAIL_SSL,
DeliveryMethod = EMAIL_DELIVERY_METHOD,
UseDefaultCredentials = EMAIL_DEFAULT_CREDENTIALS,
Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress.Address, EMAIL_PASS,EMAIL_HOST)
};
using (var message = new MailMessage(fromAddress, toAddress) {
Subject = subject,
Body = body,
Priority = MailPriority.High
}) {
smtp.Send(message);
}
}
I have enabled Less Secure Sign-in, and the configuration seems to be fine. What is the problem?
