smtpserver

[David]

I have an email function in a vb.net client application that I’m having
trouble with.

Instead of using the smtpserver that I assign it, it insists on using the
local smtpserver. If I stop the local smtpserver, it will wait until I turn
it back on. It does this even when I run the application from a network
location.

I have tried assigning the remote smtpserver through both: smtpserver =
“smtpservername� and smtpserver.insert(0,�smtpservername�).

The from and to seem to be all right, as the process runs successfully thru
the local smtpserver. I have tried different domain values for both from and
to addresses.

try/catch is not catching an error.

Dim email As New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage
email.To = LCase(strTo)
email.From = LCase(strFrom)
email.Subject = Trim(strSubject)
email.Body = Trim(strBody)

Try
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer.Insert(0,
"smtpservernamehere")
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(email)
Catch ex As Exception
‘ error processing here, displays error and innerexception
End Try

I could really use some help here.

thanks.

Hi,

Use some smtp client what sends messages without local smtpserver or what
delivers messages directly.

There are lots of such components for free.

Did you try:

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = <your server name or IP address>

I don't know where you got the .Insert method from...it's not documented
on MSDN.

An Example that works fine:

sTo = de**************@destination.com

sFrom = "in*******@fake.com";

sSubject = "Fake Reminder";

sBody = "";

sAttach = "";

sCc = "";

sBcc = "";

sBodyFormat = "HTML";

sBodyEncoding = Encoding.ASCII.EncodingName;

sPriority = "Normal";

sUrlContentBase = "http://www.fake.com";

sUrlContentLocation = "http://www.fake.com";

sMailServer = "smtp1.yourMailServerProvider.ca";

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = sMailServer;

SmtpMail.Send(MyMail);

1) You can set HTML or Plain Text
2) Do not foget to add the following namespaces:

System.Web.Mail
System.Text

Hope this helps.
