Web Forms :: Creating A New Email Account Programmatically?
May 12, 2010
The last few days I'm trying to figure out how to connect to SMTP service and create new user account (read email address) programmatically from ASP.NET. To give you the background, I'm building a hosted app where a new instance is created and a dedicated email address is assigned, now all is done, but I can't figure out how to create a new email account.
i have name ,address,contactno,emailid,details of enquiry labels and their respective textbox and one submit button.i just want to send all the information to my emailid(msenterprises@mseworld.in) whenever a user click on submit button..
i want asp.net script to create new email account. i mean there should b registration form like gmail or yahoomail and my user can create their own account under my domain name.
How to send a registration link in email upon new event creation? there has to be some ID associated with it so that when a new user clicks on registration link a page opens up with the specific event details..
I am trying hard from the past 2 days to Send mail to my gmail account. But I am not able to do so
Only Exception i am getting is "Failure sending mail."
If i am giving wrong username and password then it is giving the exception
" The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required. Learn more at"
Previously I had thread Send Mail? That helps me to send mail through Gmail credential account. Now I want to send Email through my server (suppose my server name is [URL]) so what should I do?
The below code working fine but I dont want to pass the username and pwd at NetworkCredential. Is there any way to avoid passing username and password ? Is it mandatory that we should pass from username and password in NetworkCredential ?
SmtpClient _SmtpClient = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com"); MailAddressCollection _MailAddressCollection = new MailAddressCollection(); MailMessage _message = new MailMessage(); _message.From = new MailAddress("abc@gmail.com");
My web application is a product which has to deploy to a variety of web servers. Is there a way to determine the account name that the .Net worker process account is using at runtime?
I am trying to send an email from our web server to a gmail account via System.Net.Mail but am failing miserably receiving this error message:
Mailbox name not allowed. The server response was:
that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Using this code I am able to send emails to other email addresses on our Outlook email server:
[Code]....
So I know I am capable of sending email to Gmail with port 587 and using the proper credentials of my own Gmail account. That is not the problem.
The problem is I want to be able to have the mail sent from my application from whatever the user puts in the FROM (Email address): text box to a Gmail account. When I use the above code, the address that the email is sent from is my own.
So the question is: Is there any way to configure this to be able to send from an Outlook email server to a Gmail account without having to use my Gmail account to actually do it (using my credientials). Therefore showing the email as sent from whatever the user puts in the txtEmail text box, and having it sent from the Outlook server?
I know my SMTP uses the port 25 for outgoing mail and I am pretty sure that the Gmail settings block port 25 for incoming mail, which makes sense, but what doesnt make sense is I can compose a message in Outlook and send it to a gmail account, but I cannot automate this through my programming, which makes me feel certain its my programming.

I need to create Email account using my domain .. I have registered domain i can create unlimited email accounts from my server .. as of now i am using asp.net 2005 and C# . now my questions how to create email using C# ???
I would like develop an application written in ASP.NET which include an option to configure user accounts in such a way that each user account can be freely assigned to a different module to which it will has access.
So, for example, I would have one table in a database that maps user to modules.
In ASP.NET there is the whole mechanism of roles, but his assumptions are slightly different -> Here you need to centrally configure finished profiles. This can be circumvented in such a way that each application module is a separate role. And for one user can be assigned multiple roles.
But whether such a method is elegant? Should I do it differently?
while send email from asp.net code, When i am sending mail to other than gmail then its work fine , but when i try to send an email to gmail account its not working Send To : info@[URL] is my gmail account email address When i send email to info@[URL] its not working when i use another email Like Send To: awakeel@[URL] its work fine and i recieve the email
This works if I send it to something like my domain, but if I try this to gmail it will give me something like "secure connection required" I've tried a few different ports. I've tried 587 and it gives me the same thing. If I turn enablessl=true ports 587 and 25 will tell me secure email no supported. If I try it on port 465 it will time out.
there's a thing called "Collaboration Data Objects for Windows 2000" using System.Web.Mail, but I don't want to do that because I'm using System.Net.Mail and microsoft also when I try and compile the CDO objects it says it's now unsupported plus it doesn't work anyway. It times out when I try this:
Code: Dim smtpServer As String = "xxxx" Dim userName As String = "xxx" Dim password As String = "xxx" Dim cdoBasic As Integer = 1
Can we use gmail account to send email in asp.net website from *localhost * (local machine) ? I am trying but badly unsuccessful. It works fine on hosting but donot work on my machine.
I have windows server 2003 on my machine, I have added port 587 and 465 in firewall in exceptions. In my gmail account I also have enabled POP and IMAP. Some people to use port 465 and others say port 587 should be used. I tried both and below was my result:
Using port 465 it take time and finally give message that the opration has timed out. falure Using port 587 it dont take time, show message "failuer sending email" with an inner expection "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 72.14.213.109:587"
Really sorry because this is almost "send me the code" - although really it's "send me a link to another discussion"
I am setting up a .net membership system and need to validate users from the email address they provide via a "click here to validate your account" type link.
Just wondered if anyone knew of any good tutorials or posts out there about this? I have searched for about an hour and can't find anything - hence me asking the question.
I am using gmail for sending email in my asp.net application. Email works fine if I send email on server but if I try to send emails on local machine it give error. I placed break poin in code and when send method is called it shows error box with heading "Smtp exception was unhandled by user code" and in detail it says "Faliur sending mail". If I continued on browser it shows error page with these details:
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
