It looks like one issue is in the text that I bolded above. Do you have an email address at Gmail [[email protected]][email protected][/email] and a password "mypassword"?

EDIT: it won't let me bold it. :( It is the line of code with the "[b]" next to it.

yes i do but i changed them for this post, for obvious reasons. i'm not sure if its an error with my code or the domian or smtp client and port details and was wondering if anyone else can get this to work?

My apps send from gmail smtp clients all the time. Mine doesn't contain the domain param. Just auth = new NetworkCredentials("[email protected]", "password"); is all I do.
