How do I set up outbound SMTP using .Net?
How do I use outMail in .NET?
Solution
The following examples of code assumes you have already got a fully functional webserver and the .Net Framework Installed
The below example of code shows you have to use outMail as the outgoing SMTP relay using the SmtpClient Class in the .Net Framework
Example below are in C# (CSharp) and VB.NET.
// Create the Mail Message MailMessage
mail = new MailMessage();
// Set the address information
mail.From = new MailAddress("myaddress@example.com");
mail.To.Add("sendingaddress@example.com");
// Set the content of the email
mail.Subject = "test email";
mail.Body = "This is an email!";
// Send the message
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("mxXXXXXX.smtp-engine.com");
smtp.EnableSsl = False;
smtp.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("outmail-username", "outmail-password");
smtp.Port = 25;
smtp.Send(Mail);
' Create the Mail Message
Dim Mail As New MailMessage
' Set the address information
Mail.From = New MailAddress("myaddress@example.com")
Mail.To.Add("sendingaddress@example.com")
' Set the content of the email
Mail.Subject = "test email"
Mail.Body = "This is an email!"
' Send the message
Dim SMTP As New SmtpClient("mxXXXXXX.smtp-engine.com")
SMTP.EnableSsl = False
SMTP.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("outmail-username", "outmail-password")
SMTP.Port = 25
SMTP.Send(Mail)
' Example 2 with Safer Error trapping method
' Create the Mail Message
Using Mail As New MailMessage
' Set the address information
Mail.From = New MailAddress("myaddress@example.com")
Mail.To.Add("sendingaddress@example.com")
' Set the content of the email
Mail.Subject = "test email"
Mail.Body = "This is an email!"
' Send the message
Using SMTP As New SmtpClient("mxXXXXXX.smtp-engine.com")
SMTP.EnableSsl = False
SMTP.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("outmail-username", "outmail-password")
SMTP.Port = 25
SMTP.Send(Mail)
End Using
End Using
