Unable to test sending email from .NET code in Windows Vista Business.
I am writing code which I will migrate to an SSIS Package once it its proven. The code is to send an error message via email to a list of recipients.
The code is below, however I am getting an exception when I execute the code.
I created a simple class to do the mailing... the design could be better, I am testing functionality before implementing more robust functionality, methods, etc.
namespace LabDemos { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Mailer m = new Mailer(); m.test();
}
}
}
namespace LabDemos {
class MyMailer {
List<string> _to = new List<string>();
List<string> _cc = new List<string>();
List<string> _bcc = new List<string>();
String _msgFrom = "";
String _msgSubject = "";
String _msgBody = "";
public void test(){
//create the mail message
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
//set the addresses
mail.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
//set the content
mail.Subject = "This is an email";
mail.Body = "this is a sample body";
mail.IsBodyHtml = false;
//send the message
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Host = "emailservername";
smtp.Port = 25;
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
smtp.Send(mail);
}
}
