Use Google Apps Gmail to Send Email From Your Domain
Use Google Apps Gmail to Send Email From Your Domain
Mar 17I have been using and reccomending Google Apps for Business for almost a year now. It is a wonderful time saver (especially for a programmer who doubles as IT guy). Google essentially offers your business to move all of their office features, including email, into Google’s cloud. You can brand everything and you have the reliability and ease of use that Google provides in Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Talk and more. Check out Google Apps for business. It is simple to add users and manage everything from the control panel, it is everything you would expect from Google.
I did not put much effort into it, but when I first switched over I could not get my websites emailing agent to work with it. Since we had ten months left on our current email contract, I never looked into it again. Now that the other contract has expired, I am forced to use a new mailing service. I tried setting it up as if it were Gmail, read through all sorts of articles on how to use Gmail as the agent and still no luck.
After hours of just playing around with settings, I am now able to send email through gmail from my own domain. The only issue that I have come across is that unlike other services, you cannot specify who the email is coming from. Gmail automatically strips that information out and replaces it with the account you use to login in to’s default information. You can change the default information from inside of Gmail under Settings -> Accounts.
using System.Net.Mail;
private void SendMail()
{
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.To.Add( "[email protected]" );
message.From = new MailAddress( "[email protected]", "Name to Display"
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8 );
message.Subject = "Testing";
message.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
message.Body = "Testing 123";
message.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
message.IsBodyHtml = false;
message.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;
SmtpClient emailClient = new SmtpClient();
emailClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential( "[email protected]", "yourpassword" );
emailClient.Port = 587;
emailClient.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"
emailClient.EnableSsl = true;
emailClient.Send( message );
}
Thank you so much for this…
Great article

Any chance you know how to re-create this capability on the iPhone? I set up my main Google Apps domain as the default mail account on the iPhone, but I want to be able to send through my other domains as well, and haven’t been able to figure it out. I enabled the smtp server for the other domain, but it still doesn’t show up as an option to send from the other domain when I draft an email… If you happen to know what i’m doing wrong, I’d love to hear it! Thanks!
Is that legal. It almost sound like a spamming tactic. I guess it has to be from your domain though, right?
The above code will throw an exception
"the type or namespace name ‘NetworkCredential’ could not be found"
use the name spcae of System.Net.NetworkCredential to over come the code
Your blog is very nice, thank you for the news you posted every day.
Just wanted to say thanks for this.
Interesting post
Like your writing! Still you can do some things to improve it.
This was really nice of you to say that.
Searching for this for some time now – i guess luck is more advanced than search engines
I had the same problem as you Fahad, but had it working by doing this :
emailClient.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("email","password")
…. and by the way – remove the last dot in "smtp.gmail.com."
Super-Duper site! I am loving it!! Will come back again – taking you feeds also, Thanks.

I don’t know if it’s only me but something is always wrong with the google. There hasn’t been a day when I’ve not came accross a problem. But then again it could have something to do with my computer.

Reason is God’s crowning gift to man.
An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable.
Each man takes care that his neighbor shall not cheat him. But a day comes when he begins to care that he does not cheat his neighbor. Then all goes well. He has changed his market-cart into a chariot of the sun.
We know better than we do. We do not yet possess ourselves.
