If you give the Connect method an invalid hostname and port that cannot be connected, it'll throw a SocketException with the error code in it.

if the hostname is a real server but nothing is listening on 25, it'll throw a SocketException.

If the hostname is real and 25 is blocked by a firewall, you'll get a SocketException.

Sooo... what's with the lonely little "throw" statement? Remove that and your code will work. That is, assuming that the SMTP server is listening on port 25...


The problem with this code is that you're only testing the server connection, not the ability to send email. Just because the server responds to a connection request does not mean that the credentials given for the SMTP account to send an email will work.

That's why I said the best way to check is to actually send an email.
