Send Email from Windows Service: Transaction failed. the server response was 5.7.1 client host rejected access denied
02:42 19 Apr 2018

The below code is working fine from Windows Form, but not working from Windows Services. The service is running on Windows XP.

I have tried changing the log on user, but did not work.

Error: Transaction failed. the server response was 5.7.1 client host rejected access denied
