System.Web.Mail and Pickup Directory

[Samuel]

Hi,

I am not too sure how to send email with System.Web.Mail using Pickup
directory.
The following is what I have

================================================== ==
eMail = new MailMessage()
eMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text
eMail.To = "re********@hotmail.com"
eMail.From = _SendFrom
eMail.Body = _Body
eMail.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") =
"1
eMail.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverpickupdirectory")= "C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup"

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost"
SmtpMail.Send(eMail)
================================================== =

Also, do I have to specify SmtpMail.SmtpServer if I am only using the pickup
directory?

Hi,

I think your code is right, If we directly using the pickup directory to
send email via System.Web.Mail ( or CDO component), only the sending method
and pickup directory path is required, we don't need to specify the
smtpSErver. Here is a certain kb article mentioned how to use pickup
directory to send mail via CDO.
But since the .net's System.Web.Mail is underlying using CDO, it'll be the
same for system.web.mail
