[MonoDevelop] Recent gmail smtp RemoteCertificateChainErrors error

[Adam Connelly]

Hey,

Just to say that this is the monodevelop (the IDE) list, not the list for
the mono framework itself. If you take a look at
http://www.mono-project.com/Mailing_Lists it's got the list of mono mailing
lists. I'm guessing you probably want mono-list.

Hope that helps,
Adam

Hi,

Recently I get following error when trying to send mail from my Mono

I get this error in a web page that's been working for a couple of years
now.

Here's the method I use to create and send the mail:

       public static bool HtmlMail (string @from, string to, string bcc,
string subject, IEnumerable<string> attachments, string htmlBody)
       {
           var mail = new MailMessage { From = new MailAddress (@from) };
           mail.To.Add (to);
           if (bcc.Length > 0)
               mail.Bcc.Add (bcc);
           mail.Subject = subject;
           mail.Body = htmlBody;
           mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
           foreach (var attachment in attachments) {
               mail.Attachments.Add (new Attachment (attachment));
           }
           var smtp = new SmtpClient {
               Host = SmtpServer,
               Port = SmtpPort,
               EnableSsl = true,
               UseDefaultCredentials = false,
               Credentials = new NetworkCredential(id, pw)
           };
           try {
               smtp.Send (mail);
               return true;
           }
           catch (WebException) {
               return false;
           }
       }

Where SmtpServer:SmtpPort are "smtp.gmail.com:587", and the (id, pw)
credentials are correct.

I have tried to follow the suggested approach in the second part of
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9801224/smtpclient-with-gmail

] mozroots --import --ask-remove
] certmgr -ssl smtps://smtp.gmail.com:465

But the latter is not for tls (port 587) but for plain ssl (port 465)

I have no idea why this app suddenly generates
RemoteCertificateChainErrors

Any help is most welcome and would be sincerely appreciated!

With kind regards,


Guido
