     try
        {
            MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
            mail.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
            mail.Subject = "Pallet Shortage Emergency";
            mail.To.Add("[email protected]");
            mail.Body ="Only 100 pallets are availabe in ASRS. This is system generated mail do not reply";          
            mail.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure;
            SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("rmta010.zmail.ril.com",25);
            smtp.EnableSsl = true;
            smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
            smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false; 
            System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "1234");             
            ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback =
            delegate(object s, X509Certificate certificate,
            X509Chain chain, SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
            { return true; };
            smtp.Send(mail);

        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Response.Write(ex.ToString());
        }

}

}

Try run your program with administrator permissions.

The server error is indicating that it will not relay messages. Usually this means that you need to authenticate with the server before it will allow you to send email, or that it will only accept emails for delivery from specific source domains.

If you are always going to be sending to a single email domain then you can generally use the registered MX server for the domain. In this case (ril.com) the MX server list includes several primary mail servers, but the first one for me is: gwhydsmtp010.ril.com. I'd try that as the target mail server if your website is hosted outside the network that the mail server is on.

Alternatively you can provide SMTP login credentials to the SmtpClient object like this:

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("rmta010.zmail.ril.com",25);
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");

Logging in to the server will generally solve most 5.7.1 errors.

One final method that might be useful if you have admin rights on the Exchange server is to setup an SMTP connector to allow relay from a specific source address (your web server). I wouldn't recommend this however as any open relay is a Bad Idea(tm).

I didn't get your first technique. I am going to send mail to one domain's emails only i.e ril.com. In this case what I have to do? Can you please elaborate. Second technique is not worked.

Corey Over a year ago

Are you sure you used an account that is valid for that service? What is zmail? Is it related to O365? Why are you using that mail server instead of the ones listed in the mail exchanger (MX) DNS records?

Jay Desai Over a year ago

[email protected] account is valid I can able to mail from outlook from this account. Whenever I configure outlook I manually enter Outgoing mail server (SMTP) ==> rmta010.zmail.ril.com .Its not related to O365.
