Getting following error while trying to send email.
Error: Socket.Connect returned code -5]
Error: Connection failure]

What are the possible reasons.

Thanks

Typically, this means the server was found but it has no SMTP service running.

Make sure SMTP service is up and running, and it's installed on port 25.

Another common reason is firewall preventing client to establish connection with specified server on certain ports (e.g. SMTP port).

Regards,
Alex
