Question

I’ve been struggling with getting this syntax right to send mail using Godaddy. Any help would be appreciated. Do I need to add code to my web.config?

 System.Net.Mail.MailMessage m = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage("[e-mail]", "To", "subject ", "body ");
                        m.IsBodyHtml = true;
                        SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("relay-hosting.secureserver.net");
                        smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
                        smtp.Send(m); 

The error message is this:

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
173.201.192.101:467 Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the

originated in the code.

Answer 1

I was able to figure out how to do this and it works. Code is below for others having the same issue.

  try
        {
            using (SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtpout.secureserver.net"))
            {
                client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("godaddyemail", "pw");


                //client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials; 
                //client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network; 

                string to = "send email to who";


                System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
                mail.From = new MailAddress("mygodaddyemail", "subject");
                mail.To.Add(to);



                mail.Subject = "New member Alert";
                mail.Body = "New member ";
                mail.IsBodyHtml = true;

                client.Send(mail);
                return "sent mail";
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            // exception handling 
            return ex.ToString();
        }
