Hello everyone,

Trying to send some email in my C# app. I am behind a proxy - which is no doubt why the code isn't working. This is what I have so far:

App.Config:

<system.net>
    <defaultProxy enabled="false">
      <proxy proxyaddress="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"/>
    </defaultProxy>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp deliveryMethod="Network">
        <network host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587"/>
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

Code:

        var username = "...";
        var password = "...";

        var fromEmail = "...";
        var toEmail = "...";
        var body = "Test email body";
        var subject = "Test Subject Email";

        var client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
        {
            Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password),
            EnableSsl = true
        };

        try
        {
            client.Send(fromEmail, toEmail, subject, body);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
        }  

Everytime I get System.Net.WebException: The remote name could not be resolved: 'smtp.gmail.com'

Where/how do I start to debug?
