SMTP Email questions.

Discussion in 'ASP.NET 2.0' started by WillBradTMA, Feb 5, 2009.

  1. (Note: We refers to the company I work for)

    I would like to know how I can better track my email since I can not simply look at the badmail folder. I use discountasp.net as my SMTP sincewecurrently do not have a SMTP host. Right now I am using Mail Message Delivery Notification Options. However I have not gotten any and I know I should have gotten some.

    For the record the From email address I use is not a real one. Alsowe have a exchange server, however I have never used a exchange server to send mail anyone have any experience doing that?

    Also has anyone done SMTP email using discountasp's smartermail?

    Lastly I am good with vb.net/asp.net but suck at C#

    TIA

    what exactly do you mean by tracking email? Do you mean you want bounce management?

  3. I am looking a way that I can be notified if a email does not gets reject or "bounced" I am currently using


    'Smtpclient to send the mail message


    Dim SmtpMail As New SmtpClient


    SmtpMail.Host = "localhost"


    SmtpMail.Send(MailMsg3)


    MailMsg3.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure 'Failure


    MailMsg3.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.Delay 'Delay





    However this does not seem to be working. It works find on the in house development machine.

    Oh.. you are talking about bounced management. YOu cannot do it from the sendmail code because you won't get a instant bounce most of the time.

    There are some software / service you can use to handle this. If you want to create an application yourself, you'll have to create some sort of console application to pull the bounced message off the mail server and parse it.

  5. Bruce,

    I rather not go that route, does discountasp offer something that is simple or some free/low cost system. I already know discountasp does not allow access to the badmail folder.

    Maybe that is something discountasp can offer in the future (ie a report that allows one to see rejected emails).

    Thanks

    oh.. no. we don't offer this.

    Typically, bounced management is offered by mass mailing / newsletter company.
