Hi , I am trying to use this code but i get this error while sending a @live.com email.

"failed to send email with the following error: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions 65.55.37.104:25"

My question is, is this a network problem like a firewall blocking the email? Also, it happens with hotmail and gmail. Thanks.

Yes, this error means your firewall/anti-virus software blocked outbound 25 port.
