.Net Mail and hotmail question

Bob

I have a bit of code in a functions that sends a .Net mail message
asynchronously.
emailClient.Sen dAsync(EmailMes sage, 0)
I don't really want to wait for the return status of the messages, so this
normally tests out fine BUT

When testing it I use my localhost as the smtp server. I can send an e-mail
to my normal e-mail address and I get it with my outlook but it won't send
an e-mail to my hotmail address. I won't see it thru my outlook hotmail
connection, nor will I see it in my internet browser whenn I connect to my
hotmail account.
Yet when I test my Outlook program, I can send an e-mail to my hotmail
e-mail address and I will see it in my Outlook hotmail account or in my
Internet browser page for my hotmail.

Why does this not work with the .Net emailclient.sen d(Emailmessage) nor
with emailClient.Sen dAsync(EmailMes sage, 0), it looks like trying to send
via my localhost smtp server is being blocked by hotmail servers.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you check Hotmail's Junkmail folder? If I remember correctly, when
sending an email message using ASP.NET on localhost, Hotmail views it as
Junk (probably because not many people have a certificate on their localhost
server). I would first see if it does get sent to Hotmail's Junkmail folder.
If it does, see if the same thing happens when you put the site on your
production server (what certificates your production server has on it will
determine this). These statements come from past experience only, but if I
remember correctly I had the same problem, and I then eventually realized
the mail was being sent to my Junkmail folder. Good Luck!

Sending Webmail through Exchange Server

by: B-Dog | last post by:

I've built a small app that sends mail through our ISP's SMTP server but when I try to send through my local exchange server I get CDO error. Does webmail use SMTP or does it strictly rely on CDOmail. I don't want to use the Outlook reference because outlook prompts each time program access it and I have found a way to disable that. Can I use webmail with exchange? Thanks

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
