Unable to send email to Hotmail

cioina · Jun 11, 2008

Hi,

if you can send email to yahoo account then don't worry about hotmail because sometimes it doesn't work. I also had this problem.

Best regards.

Possibly hotmail is just tagging it as spam.Check the junk folder as well.Possibly the content of the email is causing an issue with just hotmail.

Hi,

I have checked the junk folder the email never reaches. I think there is need to add some headers with email so that hotmail can recognize it but I am not sure which headers.

Regards
Ahmad

You can addsomething but this would not help if microsoft will stop hotmail for any reson (e.g. for site update).

Just for the record...The Hotmail account I use here, wisemx, has never flagged my SmarterMail.
I use it to test sending and receiving with no problems.
Other than that I don't have anything to report.

Well I am using following code to send email to hotmail address

System.Web.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();
mail.To = '[email protected]';
mail.From = '[email protected]';
mail.BodyFormat = System.Web.Mail.MailFormat.Text;
mail.Subject = 'test';
mail.Body = 'test body';

System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = 'localhost';
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(mail);

You can try this code to send email to yahoo, gmail and hotmail. Its unable to reach at hotmail.
