Answer 1

This could be:

• Firewall related
• IIS User account related
• Have you tried smtp.googlemail.com Reading this it doesn't matter

I realise that's a bit of a generic answer but your config settings are correct so logically it can only be related to the network, or the user.

Answer 2

If you are using System.Net.Mail.MailMessage try this:

yourMailMessage.EnableSsl = true;
