Hi,
I am using the latest version of MailBee.net,
and am having a problem establishing a
connection to an SMTP server over TLS.
Using the exact same code, I was able to
connect to Gmail's SMTP server and
successfully send an email, and as well to the
exchange server in question, but without TLS.
Here are the logs:
[16:43:04.26] [INFO] Assembly version:
5.8.2.175.
[16:43:04.26] [INFO] Will resolve host
"devmailsvr".
[16:43:04.27] [INFO] Host "devmailsvr"
resolved to IP address(es) 192.168.10.68.
[16:43:04.27] [INFO] Will connect to host
"devmailsvr" on port 465.
[16:43:04.29] [INFO] Socket connected to IP
address 192.168.10.68 on port 465.
At this point I get an exception in the code,
IOException: The handshake failed due to an
unexpected packet format.
Here is the same code connecting to gmail:

I have also tried putting it in safe mode, but
the exact same error exists. FInally, I
configured MS outlook to use our SMTP server
over TLS and that seems to be working OK.
Any idea what could be going wrong?
Thanks,
John

There are 2 ways of connecting to SSL-enabled mail servers. One of them utilises dedicated port 465, and another one assumes using standard port 25. Try the approach described at the following Knowledge Base article:
How can I send e-mail to Gmail with C# or VB.NET

Like I said, I was able to send to Gmail without
a problem. When I tried to send through my works
local exchange server, it worked using MS
Outlook, but not via MailBee.

And, it worked via port 465, not 25? As MS Outlook might use its proprietary protocol, please try sending mail to the same server with another mail client (Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird) - does it work?

I managed to make THunderbird work, but I had to
set it to UseStartTls. Clearly this is the
reason it didn't work.
So I retried it with UseStartTls and it
connected fine. Now the question I have is how
do I determine which mode to use (I want it to
work in either case without a user having to
specify). I could try catch both connection
methods but perhaps there is a more elegant way
to do it?

No, the only way is try both the methods and handle exception to check which one is a valid option.
