TcpClient and SocketException

Hi,

I am developing a C# application to send requests to mail server to check
email addresses validity. I use a TcpClient object to connect to it with the
Connect(String hostname, Int32 port) method.
When I use my application at home I don't have any problem to connect and
get responses but when I try at work, I get the SocketException number 10061
: "target machine actively refused it". I don't have any proxy, maybe a
firewall.

My question is to know if there is another way to connect the servers (same
problem with sockets) or if there are existing parameters of the TcpClient
object to connect thru a firewall...

Thanks

Hello Julien, As far I know, there is no way to do this, you need to open
the port in the firewall to do the connection.

Sounds like you are not permitted to make a connection on the SMTP port
(normally 25) due to firewall restrictions.

Well what do you define by verified by email? Normally to allow
relaying (not really connection), they either use authentication or POP
before SMTP. You need to know what it's doing to be able to simulate it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
