Hi Jim, I don't think port 25 is open on the Google server either. You have to log in with your account info to use their smtp server. I use port 587 for Gmail. Google shutting down the service is always a chance. If I needed 100% assurance I had an smtp server I guess I'd set my own up. Of all the big companies Google seems to be the most open to supporting developers with all their services and api's for the things they do.

I ended up using my gmail account smtp server. The messages show as originating from your account. Hope that helps.

I have a number of clients who have been set up with email from their servers through ASP/ASP.Net SMTP, through their own web sites, using IIS. Their systems do not have a real mail server on the system but transfer the email request to their ISP provider which basically re-forwards the mail. This method has been working fine for years. Now many if not all ISP are blocking port 25 (the mail out port), which supposedly stops spammers The issues is that if the mail going out, from the client servers is not being sent through one of client's email accounts (username and password need to be provided), it is blocked. I do not know if many have that problem but it will basically shut down any client, mailing from their internal web sites that do not have their own mail servers installed. Has anyone dealt with this issue and has found a simple solution?

As I recall it allows you to use .verify, but that may not be useful to you.
