SmtpClient.Send() only sends after I quit my appl ?

[Guy]

I use the following code send mail in my C# application. It works, but
it does not send mail immediatly. If I quit my application, then the
mail gets send. I can see Norton scan my mail ..etc. What do I need to
do so that tye mail gets send right away, before I quit my program ?

Thanks.

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Host = "relais.videotron.ca";
smtp.Send("gu*******@xxx.com", "gu*******@yyy.com", "subject", "body");

It should send directly. My guess is that it is a compatibility issue
with Norton. Which version of Norton Anti Virus are you using?

Sounds strange to me, like it doesn't send the message until something
has been cleaned up by the garbage collector. Perhaps try creating a
MailMessage object to send the message and dispose of that object
after the send? Use the using( MailMessage message = new
Mailmessage( ... ) ) { } will do that for you. If that doesn't work,
try to enable tracing to see what is going on.

Good luck!

I tried de-activating Norton AV, v9.05.15. Same result. I tried the
"using() {}" construct. Same result.
I went into Outlook and configured it to "send/receive" every minute.
After a couple of minutes, the mail goes out, without having to quit
my program.

So, its being queued by Outlook, and not being sent right away.

Thanks.
