Hi all, what is the best way to send an email from an asp.net page? I don't mean the code to actually send the message, I mean, for example, in my application, the lost password link sends an email to the user when a button is clicked, but if the smtp server takes 10 seconds to send the message, the user will wait the page to load for 1...

I am using sendmail in perl and noticed (after much banging of head against wall) that when the script is run at the command line it needs you to leave out the \n(s) after your e-mail and the recipient's email address in order to format the mail correctly, but when running via CGI if those \n(s) aren't there it returns an error stating t...

I'm experiencing a similar issue to the one raised in this question. sendmail (via PHP) will send an email unless its to an address with the same domain as the server its on.
