Smtp blocked, how can I send email use asp.net

calvinpost · March 28th, 2004, 11:16 AM

My program using asp.net to send email, but my school blocked the smtp port and services. After I see the p2p forums which suggest use web service to send email, have you any suggestion which web site provide web service for sending email? I try to use system.web.mail.mailmessage class to send the email in my program, but also fail. Anyone can help me to solve this problem? I need your help. Thank you

You have to specify the smtp server.

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "server_name_here"

I have tried this method using SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "server_name_here", but fail because the smtp protocol is blocked.

try creating a web service and hosting it on an external website... Make sure your function accepts the mandatory params.Ex: To,from, body; etc.

Then have the new application inside the school's firewall reference the webservice.

Try this:

objMail.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 2
objMail.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "domain\any_username_here"
objMail.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "the_username's_password"
