How to get mx records for a dns name with System.Net.DNS?

Question

Is there any built in method in the .NET library that will return all of the MX records for a given domain? I see how you get CNAMES, but not MX records.

Answer 1

See this blog post - the guy wrote an MX client using raw UDP ports. Single file class, so you should be able to use it as is.

Answer 2

.NET does not have anything that I know of. Here is a Code Project article that you can take a look at that I believe could be helpful.

Answer 3

There is nothing built into .NET, but you can use a free library like http://www.simpledns.com/dns-client-lib.aspx
