Email code not working in Azure although its working in Local machine

kaushik debnath

I am able to send the email from my MVC application in my local machine. But when I trying the same after publishing the code in Azure webapps not able to sent it.

Get the following error:
"The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.0 Authentication Required."

I am using gmail.com for sending the mail.

I had already enabled Less secure apps to ON

Please suggest why email functionality working in local machine and not in Azure webapps

Hi,

Verify the ssl in your code and it should be enabled.
1. SMTP.EnableSsl = True
