Help to send mails with delay in asp.net c#.

[Guest]

Hi,

I am newbie developing a MailList program in asp.net c#.

To avoid be considered as a span, a would like to process some messages,
stops, process some messages, stops......

What do you recommend ?

I think you can System.Threading.Thread.Sleep() for some time between the
loop.

Sorting the Mail-list int the way that the email-address with same domain
get seperated may help too.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

Can you help me sending a link of a simple Thread tutorial? I only found
"complex tutorials".

I already have a column with the domain for each message, but I am with
doubt about process this in a ASPX page ( presentation tier), I am thinking
about some way to invoke it from a .bat using a schedule manager. I am coming
from JAVA, in asp.net c# do we have something like a servlet ?

Do you have idea about how to invoke HTTP URL from CMD ?

PS: I am think about send blocks of 50 messages from diferent domains.


Thanks,

Max

Hi Thomas ,

Is something diferent from apsx page on asp.net(C#) that could be invoked
isolated ?

If I can develop a isolated component and call this component from CMD .

I can schedule it and leave the component working .

Any ideia ?

Thanks a lot
Max

Usually things like mailing is done by batches..
The batches run on specified shcedules and is invisible to the user..
I dont understand why u need to stop and process when its sending mails...
Hth...

You can use start from command line to open an URL using the default
browser:

C:\>start http://www.microsoft.com

Actually I don't think the idea of sending mass email through an ASP.NET
application is good at all.

He should write an standard application to do it.

That's probably because most spam killers will determine your email server
is sending spam if it receives certain amount of email from the same sender
within a short period.

Manage the skill of multi-thread application will require some study so
there's basically no simple tutorial on it.
And the application you're writing actually doesn't require to use threading
things.

That'll be wise thing to do. Given you've got the data in database a tiny
windows console application will be good enough. Writing a service that'll
schedule itself to send the mail will be better.

Do you have idea about how to invoke HTTP URL from CMD ?

Answered by others. "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
http://your.site" will do too.

PS: I am think about send blocks of 50 messages from diferent domains.

I've heard domains like Sina have lower limit. Better keep it lower than 30.
