SMTP message not updating it's content

Question

When users register on my site I send them activation mails.

I recently updated the message users receive in the mail but users are still receiving the old message. Anyone know why?

Sorry.

I'm using C#, my website is in ASP.NET MVC.

I'm using a class I've created, Mail.cs, where I create the MailMessage which looks something like this,

public static MailMessage RegistrationMessage(string userName, string userEmail)
    {
        using (MailMessage message = new MailMessage())
        {
            message.From = Mail.MailAdress();
            message.To.Add(new MailAddress(userEmail));
            message.Subject = "Your activation mail";
            message.Body = String.Format(@"Thank you, {0} for joining us!<br/>
                Here's your activation link to activate your new account.<br/>
                http://www.mywebsite.com/Account/Activate/{0}&lt;br/&gt;
                We hope you'll enjoy your stay!", userName);

            return message;
        }            
    }

And then the code that sends the mail in another method,

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
                smtp.Send(Mail.RegistrationMessage(userInformation.userName, userInformation.email));

Answer 1

Assuming you've pushed the code to your production server, did you restart the application?

Answer 2

it sounds like your web application has the older code in memory.

Try adding some innocent whitespace to the web.config, and save it.

That should dump the memory in IIS.
