SendMail problems

[oldhiker]

It seems that others have problems with this code, and I have looked at quite a few threads, but I still cannot get my code to work.
I want to send an e-mail when a setup occurs on my indicator. I can get the setup to print to the Output Box, but the e-mail log gives an error message.
My code is as follows
SendMail("[email protected]", "[email protected]", "Trade Alert", "CxTSFup");
and the error message from the log is
Failed to send mail: System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Service not available, closing transmission channel. The server response was: Cannot connect to SMTP server 64.38.21.160 (64.38.21.160:25), connect timeout

Hello,


Thank you for your note.



What do you have setup for the mail server. Can you send a screenshot of your.

Control Center->:tools->options->misc tab.


I look forward to assisting you further.

Please find attached the screen shot of the Misc tab.
Who is the User ? Is it my 8 digit a/c No for NT with the associated password, or is it something else.
This is the error message in the LOG.

Also, I cannot send a test message.
The attached file is the error message.
I hope that you can fix my problem. Thank you. Bill

Bill, if you enter custom settings here for the user name / password and server this would be for example your ISP's or email providers settings. If you can let me know which one you use I can check for the settings needed and forward them to you to resolve hopefully.

Thanks,

Hello Bertrand,
I had to wait until my ISP opened today (Monday) to get the info. He was very helpful, but not too confident that he had given me the solution. However, it WORKED !!!!. Very happy.
The marked up screen shot of the last tag in Options is shown below.
Thank you for your help and I hope that my submissions will help others that find themselves in the same position.
All the best,
Bill R

Hello Bertrand,
I was using a *.docx and it would not accept, so I have amended my reply with a *.doc file and it appears to have worked, please see below
