Email Automation using MailMessage

fakepoo · #1 17-Dec-2007, 12:01

Hello All,

I'm trying to use the MailMessage object with a SmptClient object to send an email from within a window application. Here is what the code looks like:

C-SHARP / C# Code:

        private void SendButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            MailMessage message = new MailMessage("abc@gmail.com", "abc@gmail.com", "Test", "Hello, the message worked.");

            //Send the message.
            SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("localhost");

            try { client.Send(message); }
            catch ( Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message); }

        }

This will encounter an exception with message "Failure Sending Mail". I believe this is because the client is not set up for sending mail. Does anyone know if it has to be set up as a mail server?

Also, if that is the case, could I use an existing mail server (like "http://www.google.com") as the server name in my client?

The goal is to be able to load this program on any machine connected to the internet and have it send an email to the administrator automatically.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
fakepoo

In order to link to a separate page, use the "Insert Link" button above on a highlighted word. (It's the globe one). I would really appreciate the links.

Thanks.

As far as i know, one cannot set up email address from public email server with Linux Evolution. Perhaps the protocols is different.
