I have found this site very useful for all my previously faced problems, However i couldnt get help with the following.

I have developed a website which is able to send emails. On localhost this works absolutely fine. when i say localhost, i am able to recive the emails sent, but when i upload onto server i face this error when it starts the process of sending emails.

“A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond IPADDRESS:PORT”

Tried ping on the adrress for the port and ping is working.

Here is the code

string strFrm = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FromAddress3"].ToString();

string[] receive = {"emailaddress1","emailaddress2","emailaddress3","emailaddress4"};

string subject = "New registration";

string body = "<html><head><title>Registered Candidates</title></head><body>bla bla bla</body></html>";

//I however have put reg exp validator on the form

if(txtEmail.Text.Contains("@") && txtEmail.Text.Contains("."))
{
    for (int i = 0; i <= receive.Length - 1; i++)
    {
        MailMessage msg = new MailMessage(strFrm, receive[i], subject, body);
        msg.IsBodyHtml = true;

        SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();

        client.Send(msg);
     }

     Response.Redirect("Thankyou.html");

Web.config

<mailSettings>
  <smtp from="from address">
    <network host="server" port="25"
userName="username" password="password"  />
  </smtp>
</mailSettings>

Please help. I upload onto my server via precompilation of the site and upload the files.

    Solved.. 😀

    My hosting server was godaddy and my hosting plan supported only age old system.web.mail i.e CDOSYS concept.

    Here is the code. 

    using System.Web.Mail;

private void SendEmail()
{
const string SERVER = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net";
MailMessage oMail = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();
oMail.From = "emailaddress@domainname";
oMail.To = "emailaddress@domainname";
oMail.Subject = "Test email subject";
oMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html; // enumeration
oMail.Priority = MailPriority.High; // enumeration
oMail.Body = "Sent at: " + DateTime.Now;
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = SERVER;
SmtpMail.Send(oMail);
oMail = null; // free up resources
}

    Thanks Jakob for participating actively! 🙂
