I created a custom contact us page and used the following code to send the emails. And the emails are delivered fine.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
protected void SendMail()
        {

            // any address where the email will be sending
            var toAddress = YourEmail.Text.ToString();
            //Password of your gmail address
            const string fromPassword = "Password";
            // Passing the values and make a email formate to display
            string body = "From: " + YourName.Text + "\n";
            body += "Email: " + YourEmail.Text + "\n";
            body += "Subject: " + YourSubject.Text + "\n";
            body += "Question: \n" + Comments.Text + "\n";
            string fromEmail = "support@.....com";

            MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(fromEmail, "admin@.....com");
            mail.Subject = YourSubject.Text.ToString();
            mail.Body = body;
            mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
            mail.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
            try
            {
                DisplayMessage.Visible = true;
                SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
                NetworkCredential oCredential = new NetworkCredential("admin@.....com", "fsdfsdfsd");
                smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
                smtpClient.Credentials = oCredential;
                smtpClient.Send(mail);
                DisplayMessage.Text = "Thank you. We have recieved your query and will get back to you shortly.";
               
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                DisplayMessage.Text = ex.Message;
            }
        }

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If this was an issue with server then I believe none of the emails would have been sent out..

Hi,

  did you check your web.config for SMTP SSL setting as it seems that you are trying to connect to SMTP via secure connection ?
Exception Details: System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Server does not support secure connections.

Hi,

please check the following

- you need to have the following setting set to false "<add key="EnableSmtpSSL" value="false"/>"
- if you have specified the username and password then you have to set the defaultcredentials to false
<network host="mail.sadsadas.com" userName="info@sadsadas.com" password="sadsadas#" enableSsl="false"  defaultCredentials="false" />
- is your SMTP server using standard ports or does it have some custom ports set for smtp protocol ?
e.g. <network defaultCredentials="false" host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587" userName="name@gmail.com" password="pass"  />

If you are talking about the web.config smtp settings excerpt then I have to say that this isn't a MonoX setting but rather a ASP.NET setting and it is well documented in MSDN.

Let me know if you need anything else.
