Secure Remote SMTP Email Sending in ASP.NET

[dtblankenship]

Hello all,

I am creating an application which must send an email once all has been
submitted to the user with a confirmation. In my workplace, we're
required to use a remote SSL SMTP server to send all email. I searched
the net for a while and could not find a non-third party way to
accomplish this. I found many sites telling how to use the MailMessage
and SmtpMail objects, but I did not see a way to use those for a remote
secure SMTP, only a remote SMTP. I remember in ASP there was CDONTS
that I could use, and I wondered if there was something obvious I was
missing in .NET that's comparable which will handle secure
communication. If there's any web sites you can refer me to also, I'd
appreciate it.

Thanks so much for your time,
David

I found the solution. It's the same as in ASP with CDOSYS.

Here's a site that explains the XML schema and how to use it using the
MailMessage object:
