Godaddy totally screwed up my estimated time. /shakes_fists

This is the definitive guide on how to work with the Godaddy moron brigade:

System.Web.Mail.MailMessage errMail = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();


                StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder();
                errMail.From = " from email goes here I created a 2nd email on the hosted site just for this";
                errMail.To = "to email goes here";
                errMail.Subject = "subject line here";
                errMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;

                str.Append("<table><tr><td>Name</td><td>");
                str.Append(name + "</td></tr>");
                str.Append("<tr><td>Email</td><td>");
                str.Append(email + "</td></tr>");
                str.Append("<tr><td>Phone</td><td>");
                str.Append(phone + "</td></tr>");
                str.Append("<tr><td>Comments</td><td>");
                str.Append(comments + "</td></tr>");
                str.Append("<tr><td>Refered by</td><td>");
                str.Append(reference + "</td></tr></table>");
                errMail.Body = str.ToString();

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net";
SmtpMail.Send(errMail);

I just ran into this problem. In your email settings for godaddy.com, use these values:

Email Server: relay-hosting.secureserver.net

Port: 25

What Integrated Development Environment (IDE) are you using? Visual Studio 2005?

If so, after you create your Web form click on the button you created to submit the form. This will bring up the .cs code behind. That is where the code resides.

I am also using GoDaddy. That is very nice code, but where does it go? What web page, or script or what?

smunir786:

NOTE: make sure in "from address" you put your own domain email address which you may have register with GoDaddy 
otherwise it wouldn't work.

Just a comment on the importance of what you put in the "from address" - GoDaddy will block outgoing email where the "FROM" address specifies any of the popular free email services; e.g. Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, AOL....

as Sajeel recommends, the safe thing to do is use a GoDaddy-hosted email account in your "FROM" address field.

Hi,

In order to sending an email on GoDaddy.com (SMTP Relay Server), do the following:

// create mail message object
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.From = "your@domainname.com";  // put the from address here
mail.To = "";             // put to address here
mail.Subject = "";        // put subject here	
mail.Body = "";           // put body of email here
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = ""; // put smtp server you will use here 
// and then send the mail
SmtpMail.Send(mail);

NOTE: make sure in "from address" you put your own domain email address which you may have register with GoDaddy 
otherwise it wouldn't work.

This worked for me too. I was very worried about it. Many thanks for the info.

It worked for me with the credentials and adding the code snippet below.

Smtp : relay-hosting.secureserver.net
Port : 25

changed smtp.EnableSsl = True to smtp.EnableSsl = False

I end up with working solution.

The problem is the port number. Sending mail to user1@myDomain.com from the site myDomain.com works on port 25. But when you send to an outside domain you must have the port assigned by the ISP (GoDaddy) for this purpose.

I have my site set to use my DNS setting for my SMTP server at GoDaddy. Digging around in their documentation I found that for "authenticated" relay of email requires that you use port 3535 as the SMTP port. So if you set up your site with the SMTP settings use these ports instead of 25.

(Network Solutions uses 2525, hotmail 9595)...

Like others, sending mail was working fine for me using the old .Net 1.1 methods

Using information from this message thread, the following code worked for me without any problems:

Environment: (.NET 2.0 on Godaddy-hosted site)

"Code Behind" the form here :

Imports System.Net.Mail

Partial Class emailtest
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Protected Sub btnSend_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSend.Click

        Dim mailClient As New SmtpClient()
        Dim mailMessage As New MailMessage()

        Try

            mailClient.Host = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net"
            mailClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network

            mailClient.Port = 25
            mailMessage.From = New MailAddress(txtFromAddr.Text, txtFrom.Text)

            Dim ccList() As String = txtCC.Text.Split(",")
            For Each cc As String In ccList
                If cc.Trim <> "" Then
                    mailMessage.CC.Add(New MailAddress(cc))
                End If
            Next

            mailMessage.To.Add(New MailAddress(txtTo.Text))
            mailMessage.Subject = "TESTING 1, 2, 3"

            mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = True
            mailMessage.Body = "<pre>this is a test</pre>"
            mailClient.Send(mailMessage)

            lblStatus.Text = "Email Successfully Sent"

        Catch ex As Exception
            lblStatus.Text = "Send Email Failed. " + ex.Message

        End Try

    End Sub
End Class

I am having a similar problem as the rest of you. I have a CMS package built entirely in .NET 3.5 and includes the System.Net.Mail classes. I have my own netMail class that I use in the application for the ContactUs and other corrospondences in the application.

In my web.config I have my smtpconfig set to the DNS smtp server used by the customer. In the database I have the credentials for the customer. Some of my customers use their own email servers from various vendors, some use services like Gmail or hotmail. Finally some use their domain registrars servers, Network Solutions and GoDaddy.

Of all these GoDaddy is the only one that I have trouble with.

My netMail class is configured to use an account name in the GoDaddy email service. I have a DNS entry for SMTP in the domain. My netMail class works perfectly as it does with all the others mentioned above.

Recently we implemented the new Membership classes in .NET 3.5 to take advantage of WebParts and SharePoint services. As most know the .NET framework included controls that simplify the coding of mundane things like login, password recovery, and things like this. To make these work requires that IIS be setup with SMTP settings on the site using the Membership classes.

Interestingly I have two clients sites in staging for deployment, one uses email via Network Solutions the other is GoDaddy. I have set up accounts in both services and DNS smtp records in both. I set up IIS SMTP respectively to both services. Both use my netMail class to their respective email accounts in the services and both work as expected. However the email sent from the IIS/.NET Membership classes is accepted by Network Solutions and rejected by GoDaddy.

Trace logs show that both my netMail class and .Net Membership classes call the same .NET Mail classes (System.Net.Mail) to do the heavy lifting.

One works and one doesn't. Beats the _____ out of me why. It works everywhere except on GoDaddy and even there it works halfway.

Any guesses?

Sorry, it was my bad, I was trying to run it from my local machine, once I published it the feed back form worked perfectly fine.

Thanks!!

Again, you need to authenticate before sending emails.

Are you using ASP.NET 2.0 or 1.1?

Hello, I am having the same problem, I tried using the code you have posted above but I get the following error message. This is my first time using this forum so if this question has already been asked please forgive the redundancy.

Mailbox name not allowed. The server response was: sorry, relaying denied from your location [68.210.0.86] (#5.7.1)
