SmtpClient.Send not working on linux environment

The following code, written in the .net core 2 environment, works in the windows environment but not in the linux environment.

string host = "10.99.99.10";
int port = 25;
string userName = "user@user.com";
string password = "password";
string from = userName;

var client = new SmtpClient
{
    Host = host,
    Port = port,
    EnableSsl = false,
    DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
    UseDefaultCredentials = false,
    Credentials = new NetworkCredential(userName, password)
};

MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage();
mailMessage.From = new MailAddress(from);
mailMessage.To.Add(userName);
mailMessage.Body = "This is test mail.";
mailMessage.Subject = "Testing";                
client.Send(mailMessage);

Answer

I thought it was a code error because of the error I had, but it was not. When I gave the relay authority on the mail server side my problem was solved. I think it is doing this automatically in windows environment.

Edit: Add ip address and allow anonymous user in Receive connectors / Exchange server
