I send a mail using WebApi. Mail sent successfully. I want to change from mail in it and I change it using below code but it take from mail as 'testweb#gmail.com'. I use testweb#gmail.com in webconfig and I want to set from as testfrom#gmail.com.
but not working as per below code and when I got mail it always from 'testweb#gmail.com' instead of 'testfrom#gmail.com'
Note : I use above emails only to ask question while development I use my real mail id.
Is there any other way to achieve this? Or I need to change anything.
Below is my code to send mail:
public static bool SendMail(string toAddress, string subject, string body)
{
try
{
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.From = new MailAddress("testfrom#gmail.com");
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress(toAddress));
msg.Subject = subject;
msg.Body = body;
msg.IsBodyHtml = true;
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.Send(msg);
return true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return false;
}
}
Below is webconfig smpt setting:
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="testweb#gmail.com">
<network host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587" userName="testweb#gmail.com" password="test" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
also try with below setting in webconfig:
<smtp deliveryMethod="Network">
<network host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587" userName="testweb#gmail.com" password="test" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
You cant!!
You are using the google SMTP server, it doesn't allows to change the from address, if you want to change the from address try using some other smtp provider that allows so.
This code gives me error again and again. I tried many things but i am unable to do please help me.
using (MailMessage mail = new MailMessage())
{
mail.From = new MailAddress("hello#gmail.com");
mail.To.Add("hello#gmail.com");
mail.Subject = "Hello World";
mail.Body = "<h1>Hello</h1>";
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
using (SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587))
{
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("hello#gmail.com", "hello");
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.Send(mail);
}
}
WEB.CONFIG
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="unknownuser6601#gmail.com">
<network host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587" userName="unknownuser6601#gmail.com" password="ASADsohaib" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
I want to send a confirmation email to user in registration page. The following code is the related part:
try
{
SmtpClient sc = new SmtpClient();
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
string Ema = u.UserMail.ToString();
MailAddress gonderen = new MailAddress("admin#gmail.com", "Hello");
sc.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
sc.Port = 587;
mail.To.Add(Ema);
mail.Subject = "Confirmation Message";
mail.From = gonderen;
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
mail.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-9");
mail.Body = "<html><body>";
sc.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis;
sc.Send(mail);
MESSAGE(true, "Sending mail is successful");
}
catch (Exception)
{
MESSAGE(true, "Sending mail is unsuccessful!");
}
But it does not send an email to related user. I have looked at forums and I added to web.config the following part:
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="myaddress#gmail.com ">
<network host="smtp.gmail.com" defaultCredentials="false"
port="587" userName ="myaddress#gmail.com" password="password" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
But anything didn't change. Then i have debugged and it enters into the try statement and when it comes to sc.Send(mail);, it drops to catch. Where is my mistake?
Additionally, during debug i realized that it shows this error: cannot get IIS pickup directory. I have controlled whether I have a smtp service or not from services but i couldn' t see this service. Is this error related to that service?
Thanks in advance.
Why not use GMAIL as the SMTP server, since you are defining a GMAIL account, by defining the host as "smtp.gmail.com", and port at 587?
Specific details here: http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287
Thanks for your helps.
I have solved this problem. I have changed my code as the following one:
try
{
SmtpClient sc = new SmtpClient();
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
string Ema = u.UserMail.ToString();
MailAddress gonderen = new MailAddress("admin#gmail.com", "Hello");
sc.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
sc.Port = 587;
sc.EnableSsl = true;
mail.To.Add(Ema);
mail.Subject = "Confirmation Message";
mail.From = gonderen;
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
mail.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-9");
mail.Body = "<html><body>";
mail.Body += "</body></html>";
sc.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
sc.Send(mail);
MESAJ(true, "Sending mail is successful");
}
catch (Exception)
{
MESAJ(true, "Sending mail is unsuccessful!");
}
and then i have set my web.config like the following :
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="Network"
from="admin#gmail.com">
<network defaultCredentials="false" host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587"
userName="admin#gmail.com" password="password" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
that works.. :)
public ActionResult Index(EmailModel model)
{
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.From = new MailAddress("sheikh.abm#gmail.com");
message.To.Add(new MailAddress(model.To));
message.Subject = model.Subject;
message.Body = model.Message;
return View();
}
this is my controller action. And in web.config .
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="sheikh.abm#gmail.com">
<network host="\localhost:"/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
The problem i got is that the mail didn't send and it didn't show me any error kindly help me.
In order to send the mail you will need to call the send method
e.g
message.Send();
I have an ASP.NET application hosted on Godaddy that I want to send email from. When it runs, I get: Mailbox name not allowed. The server response was: sorry, relaying denied from your location. The important parts of the code and Web.config are below:
msg = new MailMessage("accounts#greektools.net", email);
msg.Subject = "GreekTools Registration";
msg.Body =
"You have been invited by your organization to register for the GreekTools recruitment application.<br/><br/>" +
url + "<br/><br/>" +
"Sincerely,<br/>" +
"The GreekTools Team";
msg.IsBodyHtml = true;
client = new SmtpClient();
client.Host = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net";
client.Send(msg);
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="accounts#greektools.net">
<network host="relay-hosting.secureserver.net" port="25" userName="********" password="*********" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
1- If your site is hosted on godaddy you may use "relay-hosting.secureserver.net" without credentials.
2- If your site is hosted outside of godaddy you may use "smtpout.secureserver.net" with you email account credentials.
PS: Please change port 3535 if you have problems with 25

Here's my email class:
public class Email
{
public enum MailAddressType
{
From = 1,
Bcc
}
private static MailAddress _from = null;
public static void SendEmail(string to, string subject, string body)
{
SendEmail(to, subject, body, From, string.Empty);
}
public static void SendEmail(string to, string subject, string body, string from)
{
SendEmail(to, subject, body, from, MailAddressType.From);
}
public static void SendEmail(string to, string subject, string body, string addresses, MailAddressType addressType)
{
MailAddress from = From;
string bcc = string.Empty;
if (MailAddressType.From == addressType)
{
from = new MailAddress(addresses);
}
else
{
bcc = addresses;
}
SendEmail(to, subject, body, from, bcc);
}
private static void SendEmail(string to, string subject, string body, MailAddress from, string bcc)
{
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.From = From;
message.To.Add(to);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(bcc))
{
message.Bcc.Add(bcc);
}
message.ReplyTo = from;
message.Subject = subject;
message.Body = HttpContext.Current.Server.HtmlEncode(body);
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Send(message);
}
public static MailAddress From
{
get
{
if (null == _from)
{
SmtpSection section = (SmtpSection)ConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.net/mailSettings/smtp");
string address = section.From;
string displayName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["fromEmailDisplayName"];
_from = new MailAddress(address, displayName);
}
return _from;
}
}
}
And here are the related web.config settings:
<appSettings>
<add key="fromEmailDisplayName" value="Firstname Lastname"/>
</appSettings>
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="myname#mydomain.com">
<network host="relay-hosting.secureserver.net" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
For me, the key was "message.From = From" and "message.ReplyTo = from". GoDaddy seems to want the message to come from an address in your domain. So for contact pages, use your default email address as the From and set the sender as the ReplyTo. Email goes through fine after that.
This is likely a reply from the SMTP server because the machine attempting to send email has not been whitelisted (or is blacklisted for SPAM). Is relay-hosting.secureserver.net a GoDaddy server, or is it on a different network? You might want to find a GoDaddy server that enables email to be relayed. I would imagine a lot of shared hosting providers have restrictions today.
I would find out what type of SMTP server you are using and what anti-spam measures are in place. The administrator may be able to add the GoDaddy server to the whitelist of allowed hosts. You need to be very careful and make sure that you application cannot be used as a proxy for a spammer. Make sure to validate all input to ensure it it safe.
Check your hostname. Are you sure your account isn't configured to use mail.greektools.net ?That's the default format for GoDaddy webhosting..
set
defaultCredentials="false"
in your network element
<network host="relay-hosting.secureserver.net" port="25" userName="********" password="*********" defaultCredentials="false" />
What email or relay server should I use in my ASP.NET 3.5 code?
You do not need to provide a user name
and password for this relay server.
Just for a test. Remove the username and password values from the web.config.
Then, in your code set
//call this line, before you call .Send
client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
client.Send(msg)
I just asked GoDaddy, how to set up a SMTP form mailer, and they told me that I'd need to use a Relay Server, with no username, no password, and no port. The server name to use was, the same name that you used.
var message = new MailMessage();
message.To.Add(new MailAddress("email-address"));
message.From = new MailAddress("email-address");
message.Subject = "subject";
message.Body = string.Format("message-body");
message.IsBodyHtml = true;
using (var smtp = new SmtpClient())
{
smtp.Host = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net";
smtp.EnableSsl = false;
smtp.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
await smtp.SendMailAsync(message);
}
For those who want to know what should be C# code in addition to the accepted answer, below code worked for me. Please note that "from" address is already mentioned in web.config in the accepted answer, so no need to mention it in C# code.
public static void SendMail(string emailid, string subject, string body)
{
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient client = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage msg = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress(emailid));
msg.Subject = subject;
msg.IsBodyHtml = true;
msg.Body = body;
client.Send(msg);
}
Try below code:
smtp.Host = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net";
smtp.Port = 25;
smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("test#yourwebsitedomain.com", "*******");
It worked for me.
The code working for me for Go Daddy email send from c# code
var smtp = new SmtpClient
{
Host = "smtpout.secureserver.net",
Port = 25,
UseDefaultCredentials = false,
Credentials = new NetworkCredential("domain.xyz.com", "password...")
};
using (var message = new MailMessage("domain.xyz.com", "domain.xyz.com")
{
IsBodyHtml = false,
Subject = modal.Subject,
Body = modal.Body
})
{
smtp.Send(message);
}
