Email not sending - library.SendMail

Using Umbraco 7
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.
