SMTP Sending Issue

[Marty]

I'm having issues sending an email to an "@page.nextel.c om" email
address. I can send to any other email address fine, but when I try
the page.nextel.com it gives me this error:

Final-Recipient: XX*****@page.ne xtel.com
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 554 message body contains illegal bare CR/LF
characters.
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0

I think it has something to do with the headers that are being sent.
All I have in the subject and body is the word "test." Using this
same SMTP relay, I can get a PHP script to send an email if I strip
out all the headers. Whenever I send via MailMessage/SmtpClient it
fails. I've tried using the MailMessage.hea ders.clear(), but no
success.

Here is my code:

MailMessage mess = new MailMessage(txt From.Text,
txtTo.Text);
mess.Subject = "Test Message";
mess.Body = "Test Message";
mess.Headers.Ad d("From", txtFrom.Text);
mess.Headers.Ad d("To", txtTo.Text);
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(smtp Server, 25);
client.Send(mes s);
mess.Dispose();
Thanks

Try specifying an Encoding in your Message. I had problems with SMTP in the
past and it was solved (in part) by setting the Encoding.

What encoding should I try? UTF8, Unicode, or UTF3....

That suggests that there's a bug in SmtpClient.Send . The error message is
probably from the Postfix mail server and is saying that there's either a
LF or CR by itself on the end of a line. SMTP requires that lines end with
a CR followed by a LF.

Where does the SmtpClient class come from?

See section 2.3.7 (Lines) here:

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2821

Start with Unicode. I think more things are supposed to be going to that.

I tried all encoding types with no luck. Here is the code I used
before the SmtpClient.Send ().

mess.BodyEncodi ng = System.Text.Enc oding.Unicode;
mess.SubjectEnc oding = System.Text.Enc oding.Unicode;

Looks like this isn't the only bug:

Get a copy of Wireshark and see what characters are really being exchanged.

You aren't having conflicts between the MailMessage types, are you? I believe
the two types are System.Net.Mail and ...System.Web.M ail? (not sure about the
second)

Here is what my code looks like:
// ---------------------
bool ok = true;
MailAddress toMe = new MailAddress("fa *********@joesw elding.biz");
// txtEmail is a TextBox on the form:
MailAddress from = new MailAddress(txt Email.Text); // from the form
System.Net.Mail .MailMessage Email =
new System.Net.Mail .MailMessage(fr om, toMe);
// Your host will probably be different. This is what I use on GoDaddy
SmtpClient server = new SmtpClient("rel ay-hosting.secures erver.net");
// txtMessage is a TextBox on the form:
string strHtmlBody = "<html><bod y>" + txtMessage.Text + "</body></html>";
Email.Subject = "Joe's Welding - Contact";
Email.Body = strHtmlBody;
Email.IsBodyHtm l = true;
try {
server.Send(Ema il);
} catch (Exception err) {
Response.Write( "<b>Unable to send: " + err.Message + "</b><br/>");
ok = false;
}
// ----------------------

Is this very different from what you are running?
