force email to go

Maxxim · January 14th, 2007, 06:03 PM

hello,

i use this funtion to send email when a user click in button.

Code:

Imports System.Web.Mail


    Private Sub SendEmail()
        Const SERVER As String = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net"
        Dim oMail As MailMessage = New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage
        oMail.From = "emailaddress@domainname"
        oMail.To = "emailaddress@domainname"
        oMail.Subject = "Test email subject"
        oMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
        ' enumeration
        oMail.Priority = MailPriority.High
        ' enumeration
        oMail.Body = ("Sent at: " + DateTime.Now)
        SmtpMail.SmtpServer = SERVER
       Try
        SmtpMail.Send(oMail)
       Catch
        Result.text = "The mail couldnÂ´t be sent !!"
       End Try
        oMail = Nothing
        ' free up resources
    End Sub

But sometimes the mail is not sent...
I think it's because "smtp server"
I have to click several times in button to see mail going out...

It is possible to make a cycle of 10 or 20 times to try to send the mail, and in case of sucess stops the cicle?

Thanks very much!

I use this for register page of my forum... and sometimes the users don't receive email's!

It's very boring,

Max

Sure it is possible to build such a loop around the sending part but how many times would you try to send? Moreover is there an exception thrown, if the mail is not sent?

I would try a different mail server. Also check the current server if it receives the messages or if the server recycles them (spam/junk).

How can i do that?

I have my site in goDaddy and i use them stmp server!

When I told them my problem they say that stmp server is ok... to Check my code!

But my code it's simple, and i think it's fine!

If my code was wrong i couldn't send my mail at the to fourth or the fifth time that I click in the button, right?

Is your Catch statement executing, e.g. is there an error that is being thrown?

Thanks for your reply!

Yes, the catch throw this:

"System.Web.HttpException: Could not access 'CDO.Message' object. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040213): An imperfection in the linking of the transport to the server occurred. --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.RuntimeType.InvokeDispMethod(String name, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Object target, Object[] args, Boolean[] byrefModifiers, Int32 culture, String[] namedParameters) at System.RuntimeType.InvokeMember(String name, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object target, Object[] args, ParameterModifier[] modifiers, CultureInfo culture, String[] namedParameters) at System.Web.Mail.LateBoundAccessHelper.CallMethod(O bject obj, String methodName, Object[] args) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Web.Mail.LateBoundAccessHelper.CallMethod(O bject obj, String methodName, Object[] args) at System.Web.Mail.CdoSysHelper.Send(MailMessage message) at System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(MailMessage message) at Maxim.WebModules.Accounts.Web.registostemp.enviaMa ilEnviar_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)"

Your mailing through an open relay :shudders: sounds like your writing a Spam program. In any case I am not fimilar with this error or what is causing it, try and google it.

i don't think it's spam...

In my local computer i have the same application running, but here i have no mail configured.
So, when i click in a button, there are no vaid smtp server to provide outgoing email! But the error is the same.

I really think the godaddy smtp server is full of requests but they don't admit that!
If it's spam problem, or email.body problem i never had sucess send mails, but i have sucess at 4Âª or 5Âª time that i click in button.

since godaddy don't assume the problem and i have no money to request a personal smtp server:
make a cycle isn't the best way to solve the problem?

Thanks!

relay-hosting.secureserver.net that is the server you are using not godaddys. What you need to consider is that you are connecting to a remote SMTP server from godaddys Webserver, what I would check to see is if you are having problems connecting to that Mail server from godaddys webserver.

What I might try doing is using gmails mail server ot send the email (You have to have a Gmail account to even consider this tho) and try sending the email through there and just supply your gmail credientials.

See if you have the same problems.

Are you saing that i can make a free gmail account and use it to send smtp mails from my asp.net application?

They provide this?

I will find a way to this and i will writte here the results!

Thanks,
Max

Gmail is an invite only service (In the USA anyway) and, i dont suggest, using their mail server as your bulk mail server, although it could be done.
