Did you see the "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it" line? – sharptooth
Post the line of code where you open the socket to the server. Otherwise it's impossible to know what you're doing. – james.garriss

It's just saying that whatever port you've configured your System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient to is being blocked on the server by a firewall, or else it's not even listening on that port.
