I can't send mail using SMTPClient but Outlook Express can!

[Afshar]

Hi,

I'm sending mail from .net via SMTPClient but always got "operation
timeout". I use same settings in Outlook Express and OE can send mail!
I previously used a gmail account and I could send mail in .net. When
I switched to use my own email account everything went bad.
My setting that is used in OE is as follow:
Incoming mail(POP3): someserver.com
Outgoing mail(SMTP): someserver.com

account name : *****
Password: ****
My server requires authentication (Use same settings as my incoming
mail server)
SMTP port: 465
SMTP port: 995
both outgoing and incoming servers use SSL


I guess the problem is for:
My server requires authentication (Use same settings as my incoming
mail server)
