this error occurred to me when I setup SMTP virtual sever for SharePoint farm. then I tried to trouble shoot email sending using PowerShell and it also return False.
Trouble shooting SharePoint Emails (SMTP server)
$dict = new-object System.collections.specialized.stringdictionary
// recipient's Email Address$dict .add("to","somebosy@gmail.com")
// sender: you can put anything that you want to visible in the email$dict .add("from","outsender@sharepoint.local")
$dict .add("Subject","sample subject")
// this is any existing sp web url$web = get-spweb "http://4587wfe2013:5003"$body = "This is our body codes in it."[Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtility]::SendEmail($web,$sd,$body)
This code will return True if success otherwise will be False.
This error occurred me because of connection issues to SMTP server. thus I go to SMTP properties
Then go to Access Tab and click Connection and Relay buttons and make the radio selection to all except to list below.
