The question: Is it possible to configure multiple SMTP servers or update the SMTP object server information at runtime?
Description of problem: The site I'm working on has a few pages which send emails. Our site is using Gmail so even though it's a custom domain our email is sent out though Gmail SMTP servers.
Some emails come from the system and some emails come from users in certain groups. I have an SMTP server configured with the admin email for the system e.g. admin@mysite.com This works fine and when I get the email it shows from admin@mysite.comOne of our user groups let's call it "groupA" has an email configured on our domain i.e. groupA@mysite.com When I send the email and specify a from address for the MailMessage object as groupA@mysite.com it still shows up in my outlook as coming from admin@mysite.com I did a little further testing and if I specify both the from address and the ReplyTo as groupA@mysite.com it will show as From=admin@mysite.com but when I choose reply in outlook it shows groupA@mysite.com My best guess is that Gmail is overwriting the From address with the SMTP user to prevent email spoofing.
I found this: http://www.systemnetmail.com/faq/4.1.aspx but it won't work for me since group A, B, and C all need to send emails from the same page.
How can I encrypt a web.config file? And how can I then decrypt it again?
View 2 RepliesI noticed that we always just are like:
SmtpClient mSmtpClient = new SmtpClient();
// Send the mail message
mSmtpClient.Send(mMailMessage);
And the only place the credentials are set are in web.config:
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp>
<network host="xxx.xx.xxx.229" userName="xxxxxxxx" password="xxxxxxxx"/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
So my question is, how does it automagically get them out?

Now how i encrypt only the Password ?
I'm trying to encrypt the connection strings in my web.config. I'm following:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2w117ede.aspx
however when I get to the part with the command:
aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/MyApplication" -prov "MyProvider"
it keeps complaining:
"The configuration for the virtual path '/MyApplication' and site 'Default Web Site' cannot be opened
Failed to map the path '/myapplication'
Failed!
I'm fairly sure I've followed the instructions correctly. I created the project named 'MyApplication' directly in the 'C:' root.
Perhaps I should be following a different set of instructions?

This is the case where I need encryption for my password. I searched and googled much on the web but I can't be able to encrypt anymore.
I fully followed the steps in this page [URL]
look at the step 5 at "Using the Example Provider in an ASP.NET Application" element , I entered the command "
aspnet_regiis.exe -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/SessionState" -prov "TripleDESProvider"
" at the windows command line, it asked me "The protection provider 'TripleDESProvider' was not found"
I make sure the files keys.snk and keys.txt are in the same folder and the file web.config is correct. Who can tell me the reason for the error and how do I handle with it?

View 1 RepliesI'm all set on the server side with the RSA key pair installed. Where I'm hung up is trying to get the job done on the web.config file ... can't seem to get the aspnet_regiis command string right. I am using the command string provided by the web host (DiscountAsp.net). Most (all) of the examples I read use a website on the development machine. I actually registered my project in IIS and tried that but it didn't work. In any case I would rather not have to go to the hassle of registering a project in IIS anyway if I can avoid it.
Details:
My web application project is in a folder on my local machine:
D:Projects<project name>
This is most recent (failed) attempt to use aspnet_regiis:
C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319aspnet_regiis.exe -pe "connectionStrings" "D:Projects<project name>"
Is it possible to just do this manually by looking at the NetFrameworkConfigurationKey_xxxxx.xml file and entering the values? Seems like it should be do-able except I'm not sure how to parse the xml file for the correct values.
On a related note, when I add the following code to web.config it "announces" that "The keyContainerName attribute is not allowed". Ditto useMachineContainer

I have looked for ideas on this and read several posts but none of them seems to be because the problem is that web.com (my host) doesnt allow us to update web.config on their server programmatically. I can use example codes and encrypt them on my local pc but heres the error i get when I run them on the live site:
An error occurred loading a configuration file: Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. (machine.config)

View 1 RepliesI want to encrypt my web config when i deploy it to server so that the username and password of database is secured. I've tried some of the encryption and it did'nt work. here is my code.

I have some inherited code which stores SMTP server, username, password in the system.net/mailSettings/smtp section of the Web.config.
It used to read them like so:
Configuration c = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath);
MailSettingsSectionGroup settings = (MailSettingsSectionGroup)c.GetSectionGroup("system.net/mailSettings");
return settings.Smtp.Network.Host;
But this was failing when I had to deploy to a medium trust environment. So following the answer from this question, I rewrote it to use GetSection() like so:
SmtpSection settings = (SmtpSection)ConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.net/mailSettings/smtp"); return settings.Network.Host;
But it's still giving me a SecurityException on Medium trust, with the following message:
[Code].....
Searching StackOverflow, I found this question on how to Retrieve SMTP settings from Web.Config, but no details on how to update the SMTP back to the web.config file.
I started with the following code:
Configuration webConfig = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("~");
MailSettingsSectionGroup settings =
(MailSettingsSectionGroup)webConfig.GetSectionGroup("system.net/mailSettings");
SmtpSection smtp = settings.Smtp;
SmtpNetworkElement net = smtp.Network;
but was quickly clued in by Intellisense that SmptSection.Network is a Get (aka "read-only") accessor.
So how am I supposed to programmatically write my SMTP data back to web.config?
I've been running a customer's webapplication using automatically generated email for some time, being hosted on our company's web server. Send mail was done using the System.Net.Mail API using a 3rd party SMTP server. The configuration has been done in the web.config in the system.net section, something like this:
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp>
<network host="mail.jazzforum.at" userName="myUsername" password="myPassword" port="25"/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
Everything worked fine until we had to migrate to another hosting service; since then, send mail didn't work any longer with symtomatic "timeout" exceptions. We also tried using gmail and changing/omitting explicit port number specification, without any success. The server is running IIS 6 (Windows Server 2003 R2).
