SMTP code times out. No idea why

[Vince]

Can someone help me here please? My code keeps timing out on the very
last line. POP3 works fine.

The port is 465 and the host is pop.googlemail.com

Thank you

SmtpClient mysmtp = new SmtpClient();

if (useSSL) {
mysmtp.EnableSsl = true;
}
mysmtp.Port = port;
mysmtp.Host = host;
mysmtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(user, pass);

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.To.Add(new MailAddress("[e-mail]"));

mail.From = new MailAddress("xy*@iinet.net.au",
"Developers", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);

mail.ReplyTo = new MailAddress("so***@wikid.com");
mail.Subject = "Your moma";
mail.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(@"c:\sqmdata00.sqm"));
mail.DeliveryNotificationOptions =
DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnSuccess;

mysmtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
mysmtp.Send(mail);

Does your ISP allow traffic on the 465 port? Some ISPs block that port,
and requires you to use their smtp server, to prevent spamming.

"pop" is for receiving mail. Shouldn't the host be "smtp.xxxx"?

You are 100% correct here, according to my mail client settings, I use
smtp.gmail.com (which is the same actual box as smtp.googlemail.com) for
outbound gmail traffic.

It's always necessary to configure your mail client settings based on
your service provider.
