smtpMail

[Gerhard]

Hi,

For years I have been using a simple method of sending email notifications
from a Windows app for one of my clients using:

System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer ...
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send ...

It has been very reliable and stable. However, his provider is now
requiring that it be sent to a specific port, and may also require
authentication.

What is the recommended method for adding in these additional requirements?
I don't see a way to do it with the simple smtpMail.

Thanks.

Thanks. This should work fine. I'm afraid the main client that needs this
currently is still on .net version 1.1.

Hi Gerhand,

For system web mail and smtp authentication, you can check the following
article also:

#SMTP Authentication using System.Web.Mail (CDOSYS)
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/SystemWeb_Mail_SMTP_AUTH.aspx

As Mark suggested, if possible, it is definitely recommended that we use
the .NET 2.0 System.Net.Mail to substitute the old system.web.mail one.

And just like the "systemwebmail", here is also a FAQ for system.net.mail:

#Frequently Asked Questions for System.Net.Mail
http://www.systemnetmail.com/

Hope this also helps.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

I have a small library that wraps up different smtp configurations nicely.
1.1 code is there as well.


If you put it in, you won't have to worry about changing smtp needs.
