您可以通过在证书无效时询问用户是否想继续来改进代码。你想继续吗?如下:

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = 
    new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(ValidateServerCertificate);

并添加一个这样的方法:

public static bool ValidateServerCertificate(object sender,X509Certificate certificate,X509Chain chain,SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
{
    if (sslPolicyErrors == SslPolicyErrors.None)
        return true;
    else
    {
        if (System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("The server certificate is not valid.\nAccept?", "Certificate Validation", System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon.Question) == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes)
            return true;
        else
            return false;
    }
}

这有点晚了，但如果您正在寻找像Yury这样的解决方案，下面的代码将帮助您确定问题是否与自签名证书有关，如果是，则忽略自签名错误。如果需要，显然可以检查其他SSL错误。

我们使用的代码(由Microsoft - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dd633677(v=exchg.80).aspx提供)如下:

  private static bool CertificateValidationCallBack(
         object sender,
         System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate certificate,
         System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Chain chain,
         System.Net.Security.SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
    {
  // If the certificate is a valid, signed certificate, return true.
  if (sslPolicyErrors == System.Net.Security.SslPolicyErrors.None)
  {
    return true;
  }

  // If there are errors in the certificate chain, look at each error to determine the cause.
  if ((sslPolicyErrors & System.Net.Security.SslPolicyErrors.RemoteCertificateChainErrors) != 0)
  {
    if (chain != null && chain.ChainStatus != null)
    {
      foreach (System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509ChainStatus status in chain.ChainStatus)
      {
        if ((certificate.Subject == certificate.Issuer) &&
           (status.Status == System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509ChainStatusFlags.UntrustedRoot))
        {
          // Self-signed certificates with an untrusted root are valid. 
          continue;
        }
        else
        {
          if (status.Status != System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509ChainStatusFlags.NoError)
          {
            // If there are any other errors in the certificate chain, the certificate is invalid,
         // so the method returns false.
            return false;
          }
        }
      }
    }

    // When processing reaches this line, the only errors in the certificate chain are 
// untrusted root errors for self-signed certificates. These certificates are valid
// for default Exchange server installations, so return true.
    return true;
  }
  else
  {
 // In all other cases, return false.
    return false;
  }
}

警告:不要在产品代码中使用此代码!

作为一种解决方法，您可以关闭证书验证。只有在确认由于错误的证书而引发错误时才这样做。

在调用smtpclient.Send()之前调用这个方法:

[Obsolete("Do not use this in Production code!!!",true)]
static void NEVER_EAT_POISON_Disable_CertificateValidation()
{
    // Disabling certificate validation can expose you to a man-in-the-middle attack
    // which may allow your encrypted message to be read by an attacker
    // https://stackoverflow.com/a/14907718/740639
    ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback =
        delegate (
            object s,
            X509Certificate certificate,
            X509Chain chain,
            SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors
        ) {
            return true;
        };
}

如果您在使用AWS SDK将文件上传到S3时遇到此错误。确保为S3选择了正确的区域。

如果您使用了不正确的区域。这将返回这样一个错误，这不是为这个错误顺便说一句。

对于那些在使用自签名证书连接到本地站点时遇到同样错误的人，下面的博文帮助我解决了这个问题。

添加这条线对我很有效。这实际上信任这里提到的所有证书。但是，这主要用于故障排除。如果这适用于您，则意味着远程服务器的证书没有作为受信任证书添加到您的计算机中。

System.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = new System.Net.Security.RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(RemoteServerCertificateValidationCallback);

完整代码为

private void sendAMail(String toAddress, String messageBody)
        {
            String msg = "Sending mail to : " + toAddress;

            MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
            mail.To.Add(toAddress);
            mail.From = new MailAddress("from@mydomain.com");
            mail.Subject = "Subject: Test Mail";
            mail.Body = messageBody;
            mail.IsBodyHtml = true;            

            //Added this line here
            System.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = new System.Net.Security.RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(RemoteServerCertificateValidationCallback);
            SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();

            smtp.Host = "myhostname.com";            
            smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("sender@sample.com", "");
            smtp.EnableSsl = true;
            smtp.Port = 587;            
            smtp.Send(mail);            
        }


private bool RemoteServerCertificateValidationCallback(object sender, System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate certificate, System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Chain chain, System.Net.Security.SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
{
    //Console.WriteLine(certificate);
    return true;
}
