        MailAddress ma_to = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "fromName");
        string s_password = "TestPwd";

            Body = s_body
        })
            smtp.Send(mail);

Answer 1

1. Where did you get those settings? I don't think port 25 will work with SSL. Try port 587 and host "smtp.gmail.com"

2. The full response from Google would help. Was it perhaps "Our system has detected an unusual rate of unsolicited mail originating from your IP address. To protect our users from spam, mail sent from your IP address has been temporarily rate limited." Note that unless you're using a fixed-line internet connection from home, you're probably sharing an IP address with many other users.

3. Ensure you have a "strong" password

4. Ensure the "from" email address is your primary email address and not an alias.

Answer 2

Try Using Port 587 And host "smtp.gmail.com"

Specially You'll need to set your gmail account allow less secure apps to send mails. It's a security concern in gmail.

You can set this setting by folowing this link. Allow Less Secure Apps

Hope this would help.. :)
