    Email not sending - library.SendMail

    I'm using this umbraco Library method to send an email via a contact form

    library.SendMail("[email protected]", "[email protected]", model.Subject, sb.ToString(), true);

    My web config file looks like this

     <smtp>
    <network
     host="smtp.gmail.com"
        port="587"
        userName="[email protected]"
      password="000000"
     defaultCredentials="false"
    />
  </smtp>

    But the emails are not arriving...

    I am running from my local machine.

    Any ideas?

    Hi Ayo

    Have you checked the log file at /app_data/logs to see if it reveals any error messages when you're trying to send an e-mail? Are there any entries marked with "ERROR"?

    And I don't suppose it could be a spam folder issue?

    It might be helpful to use the FakeSmtp tool from http://nilhcem.github.io/FakeSMTP/ to see what happens?

    Hope this helps.

    /Jan

    Thanks had a look in the log file and found this

    he SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated.

    So I need to change my settings in the web-config to allow a secure connection.

    Do you know how?

    And in addition... that log file looks like it should be pretty useful what kind of things wind up in here?

    Thanks, I found the solution: You need to add enableSsl="true" to the nextwork tag. 

      <smtp>
        <network
         host="smtp.gmail.com"
         port="587"
         userName="[email protected]"
         password="00000000"
         defaultCredentials="false"
         enableSsl="true"
    />
  </smtp>

    Its all good and working now.
