Smtp Server Timeout error - email

I am trying to send mail using SmtpClient and below is my code.
SmtpClient client_ = new SmtpClient("relay-hosting.secureserver.net", 25);
//client_.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
//client_.EnableSsl = true;
// client_.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
//client_.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(_fromAddress, _password);
MailAddress from_ = new MailAddress(_fromAddress, _fromName);
MailMessage msg_ = new MailMessage(from_, from_);
msg_.Subject = "Subject";
StringBuilder body_ = new StringBuilder();
body_.AppendLine("Line1");
body_.AppendLine("===============================================================================================");
body_.AppendLine("Line2");
body_.AppendLine("===============================================================================================");
body_.AppendLine("line2");
body_.AppendLine("===============================================================================================");
msg_.Body = body_.ToString();
msg_.IsBodyHtml = true;
client_.Send(msg_);
I am getting TimeOut error. When Same smtp configuration using in email client on my machine, it send the mail immediately. I don't know what can be cause. Also when I used my Gmail account with gmail smpt server it worked.

Most consumer ISPs block port 25 to prevent you from running a mail server.
Therefore, you cannot connect to port 25 from your house.
You can ask them for an alternate port.
Try port 587; it's commonly used as well.

What are the things needed to send email with an exchange account?
What's difference between WebDav and MAPI? Which should be used?
Any Ideas?
Here is my code. I think this can't be done with SMTP.
MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage();
mailMessage.From = new MailAddress("sender#domain.com", "Sender");
mailMessage.To.Add("receiver#domain.com");
mailMessage.Subject = "Test Exchange Email";
mailMessage.Body = "Sameple test message";
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("Exchange Server Url");
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.Port = 465;
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "pwd");
smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtp.Send(mailMessage);

Make sure the local VM's Firewall rules are permitting outgoing connection via port 587. Here is a good article on how to create outbound Firewall rule.

Classic ASP emails not working with Outlook SMTP relay

I am trying to get the classic ASP page working with Outlook (Microsoft Web Email) SMTP relay. I am getting the following error :
CDO.Message.1 error '80040213'
The transport failed to connect to the server.
My code looks like
dim objEmail
Set objEmail = Server.CreateObject("cdo.message")
objEmail.To = list
objEmail.From = "xyz#abc.com"
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = smtpServer
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = username
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = password
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 60
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = 1
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 587
objEmail.Configuration.Fields.Update
objEmail.Send
I tested with GMAIL and this thing snippet works fine with it. I guess I am missing something in configuration of Outlook SMTP
Here is an example that does work. Make sure that the account you use has a mailbox, and the from adress is indeed the account adress.
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = (sender, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true;
var msg = new MailMessage();
msg.Subject = "Hello";
msg.Body = "Hello Sir";
msg.From = new MailAddress("no.reply#contoso.com");
msg.To.Add("user#contoso.com");
var client = new SmtpClient("smtp.outlook.office365.com");
client.Port = 587;
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("no.reply#contoso.com", "******");
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.Send(msg);

Unable to send mail in Silverlight

I wrote a WCF service for sending mail in Silverlight:
using System.Web.Mail;
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.From = emailFrom;
msg.To = emailTo;
msg.Subject = msgSubject;
msg.Body = msgBody;
msg.Priority = MailPriority.High;
SmtpMail.Send(msg);
success = true;
This works fine in localhost, but when I host it in IIS, it doesn't show any error, but no mail has been received. What may be the problem?
Try to set the smtpserver property for the smtpmail class before you call the send method.
