Error via sending email through classic asp:

Question

I am trying to send email via classic asp but it gives me below error.

CDO.Message.1 error '80040213' The transport failed to connect to the server. /hotemp/regnew.asp, line 507

Initially it was working fine , suddenly it gives the above error. I googled but it didn't help. Any suggestions on how to get over this. Thank you

My code below:

<%

 Set Mail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

    Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") ="smtp.gmail.com"
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 465

Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = 1

Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 60

Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") ="myemail@gmail.com"
Mail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") ="password"

Mail.Configuration.Fields.Update

Mail.Subject="Sending via classic asp"
Mail.From="abcdef@gmail.com"
Mail.To="wxyz@gmail.com"

Mail.TextBody="please fill the form" 
Mail.Send      ` line 507
Set Mail = Nothing

Usually when code starts off working fine and then fails without any changes to the code being made, it's the result of something changing on the server.

I would hazard a guess that you've been sending either too many emails, or that gmail thinks your messages are a little spammy and has stopped accepting connections.

Usually when sending email from a web app like this, you're better off using the mail server your host provides you or signing up with a service that offers this sort of thing.
