I am getting following error while sending a mail from my website. In local iis it is working but in production server it is getting following error.

Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required.

The code i have written is

C#

public void SendMail(string ToEmailAddress, string Body, string Subject)
        {
            SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
            smtpClient.Host = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SmtpClientHost"].ToString();
            smtpClient.Port = Convert.ToInt32(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SmtpClientport"].ToString());
            smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FromEmail"].ToString(), System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MailPassword"].ToString());
            smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
            MailMessage messege = new MailMessage();
            MailAddress mailAddress = new MailAddress(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FromEmail"].ToString(), System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Name"].ToString());
            messege.From = mailAddress;
            messege.To.Add(ToEmailAddress);
            messege.Subject = Subject;
            messege.Body = Body;
            messege.IsBodyHtml = true;
            smtpClient.Send(messege);
        }

Try configuration like following, make sure you have configured SMTP configuration in Web.Config:

<system.net>
   <mailSettings>
     <smtp from="abc@somedomain.com">
       <network host="somesmtpserver" port="25" userName="name" password="pass" defaultCredentials="true" />
     </smtp>
   </mailSettings>
</system.net>

If needed, have a look at this Microsoft Video tutorial: Use ASP.NET to send Email from Website[^]

Have a look at this tip too: Sending an Email in C# with or without attachments: generic routine.[^]
