WebMatrix :: Testing Emails Sending (SMTP) Under IIS7 Express
Oct 16, 2010
I don't have web server account yet so I must test my applications with the Web Development Server under VS 2010 with C# but I read that I couldn't send emails under that server but I also read that I can send email with IIS7 Express and that's the main reason why I've install Webmatrix. Maybe someone can confirm this. So for the moment I am redirecting my emails into a local folder and it is working perfectly. Here is part of the code I've add to the Web.Config for doing that.
[Code]....
As you can see I am redirecting the emails to the D: emp
[Code]....
What are the values of username & password. or others when we use the Webmatrix server and how can I fint hem? It was hell posting this text I think the inserted code was interfering with the HTML of the message or there are bugs in the editor,
in my application when client completes its shopping email will goes to user this works fine when there is internet connection is working fine, if there is some problem in internet connection if one mail stops then all the mails will be stopped even now internet works fine,
how to resend the emails using smtp server, is there any option to resend the emails automatically when internet works fine.
I use a Smtp Client to email submitted information from an asp.net form. 3 users sent in their information and the user on the other end did not recieve either one of the emails. On the 2nd time around, she did recieve the emails. What could it be?
I want to send email thought asp.net page for that I need to find SMTP Host and port number below is my code
Dim EMail As New MailMessage EMail.From = New MailAddress(Emailtaxebox.Text) EMail.[To].Add(New MailAddress("sa@gmail.com")) EMail.Subject = Firstnametextbox.Text + lastnametextbox.Text + "Registerd" EMail.Body = " This is content " EMail.IsBodyHtml = True
[code]....
how to find SMTP port and host name ? I used default one its gives me error.No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
i am trying to send emails using SMTP MailMessage but i have a problems, i got the following error: Failed to send to pm@[URL] (530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. g31sm24378313ibh.22 ) my code is the following:
I am new to Wordpress so what I did was to setup up everything through Microsoft Webmatrix. Everything installed find for my Local Host Server. As long as I load up the Webmatrix program first I can put the "localhost" adress in my browser and my Wordpress theme will load up fine. The next step I did was to try to edit my theme via Dreamweaver CS5. I followed all the Adobe on-line instructions for setting everything up. Nevertheless when I press the live view button Dreamweaver keeps asking for the Texting Server which I thought I already had setup. I pointed the "testing server" folder to the same folder as Wordpress (where the theme is also located via "My Websites." Everything else seems to work and I followed all the instructions given by Adobe. See: [URL] Nevertheless when I press the Live View button Dreamweaver keeps begging for the teasting server. I have the "server model" set to PHP MySQL.
I can find loads of posts about codes to send emails using smtp, but I've got a problem. I want to send a registration mail to a user that has made a new account on my site, so he can activate it by clicking on a link in the mail. Only problem is: I need to use an smtpserver but I don't know which smtpserver i can use, so the mail is never sent!
I am testing with windows authentication and a local express DB. My DB has users and roles tables. Following link explains this concept:[URL]
Code:
[HandleError] public class HomeController : Controller { public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } [Authorize(Roles = "Managers")] public ActionResult CompanySecrets() { return View(); } [Authorize(Users="redmond\swalther")] public ActionResult StephenSecrets() { return View(); } }
Above roles are coming from NTLM. Is there a way where i can map roles in my DB table so that these are then available to me like User.IsInRoles("Admin") etc?
I'm currently developing a few ASP.NET MVC2/.NET 3.5SP1 web-services that are mostly IO bound (execute a couple HTTP back end calls + DB write per request) and i'm getting really poor load-testing performance.
To make sure it wasn't something in my application, I created a brand new ASP MVC 2 project (project -> new -> "ASP.NET MVC2 Web Application", based on .NET 3.5 SP1), added a "TestController" with the following action:
[Code]....
I deployed this on a dual-core test server, running Win2008 and IIS7, Application Pool set to "integrated mode". I have the following in my C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework64v2.0.50727Aspnet.config:
[Code]....
Just in case, I added the following DWORD key in the registry:
[Code]....
I verified I was able to access my test action from a regular browser and started a load test from another machine on the same network: user load set to 500, no "think" time.
The following is what I observe on the machine running the loadtest after about 8 minutes:
req/s: 5.98avg response time: 78.4 secondsno errors whatsoevernote that the local CPU is 1-2% On the test server, this is what I observe using perfmon:
request current: flat line at 501request execution time: flat line at 1506 ms avg => this makes sense though I don't understand why I see the request coming back after 78 seconds at the other end% proc time avg < 1%request queued as well as all others asp.net v2.0.50727 counters at 0 I don't get it. I believe the expected behavior would be to see about 333 req/s (500/1.5) with a avp response time of 1.5xx seconds...
My code sends email via asp.net mail namespace. Basically I generate HTML code which carries an image tag referring to an image on server. It uses absolute path and then the html email is sent to recipients.
Now when they receive emails on gmail and other clients, it wouldnt display images and not that images are broken but it wouldnt get displayed. Gmail is an issue wherein it prompts of non-https message and then display link on top. I know how to get around but my recipients have no clue on this technical things. so they end up not seeing the images.
How can I resolve this issue? How can I ensure that they always receive images irrespective of their internet settings?
I have code that is supposed to do some database operations and then send an email through local iis smtp virtual server. All within one TransactionScope. It looks like
[Code]....
The second one where I use something similiar is
[Code]....
I want to notice that these events fire in the sequence they are shown. Now when there's an error, the db operations are rolled back, but the mail is sent anyway. I'm using Windows XP SP3, IIS 5.1, .Net 3.5, Visual Studio 2008. If I'm correct, TransactionScope uses MSDTC, right? I couldn't find anything about MSDTC working with smtp. Should it even work?
I have this web application (LAN) that sends an email when users registers to one of our events.
The code is pretty straightforward:
[code]....
The application sends the email without problems. The issue is that somehow a third person is enlisted in the cc, and receives a copy of the email!. What could be the problem? The smtp? IIS?
I'm having trouble sending messages through ASP. I'm using the same settings I'm using on another Web App sitting on the same server in the same network, and trying to send through the same Exchange Server.
[Code]....
They work fine for the one app, but the other app gives me a relay error. Could this be because I'm using it on a separate domain? The one that works is "visitmychurch.tv" the other is "insidehcc.com".
TL;DR - Any webapp devs out there able to squeeze performance out of using gmail as SMTP server without a 3-10 minute delay to delivery?I'm looking for some feedback from developers who are using gmail as a secure SMTP server for use with Webapps.Within the past 2 weeks, my company has switched to gmail to host email for our domains.I have a few webapps that send from our ISP server, but I'd like to refactor the code to use gmail with our domain name. I know the ISP can rig things up, but I don't want relay issues.I have gmail sending for the Webapps and it's more or less working. On ASP/IIS, I'm using SSL and on PHP Linux, I'm using TLS.It seems that TLS (port 587) works better than plain old SSL (port 465), but the overall performance difference seems minimal.What concerns me is that there is often a significant delay (10-20 minutes at times) to get email to a recipient no matter which method I use to send via gmail.While I understand this can happen in any environment, I am used to fast delivery. Use case is salespeople talking to customers and needing to get email to them very quickly using the Webapp. Before the gmail switch, usually less than a minute to deliver. Now, it is 3-4 minutes minimum.Am I crazy to try to use gmail for this purpose? There seem to be a lot of devs using it, so just wanting to know how it works out for them/you.
Here is my situation and hopefully someone could guide me in the right direction.I have a shared or static class in my website (App_Code folder) which has static methods to send emails asychronoulsy. So whenever there is an exception in any of my pages or classes I call these methods to send an email to support asynchronously. Now when there is an exception in a page, to route that exception asynchronously I need to have Async = "true" for that page. I have more than 50 pages and I don't want to set Async= "true" on every page as I read that it affects performance.So I was wondering if there is any way I could send emails asynchronously without having to set async = "true" on every page.
I'm having an issue sending large volumes of emails out from an ASP.Net application. I won't post the code, but instead explain what's going on. The code should send emails to 4000 recipients but seems to stall at 385/387.
The code creates the content for the email in a string.
It then selects a list of email address to send to.
Looping through the data via a datareader it picks out the email address and sends an email.
The email sending is done by a separate method which can handle failures and returns it's outcome.
As each record is sent I produce an XML node in an XML document to log each specific attempt to send.
The loop seems to end prematurely and the XML document is saved to disk.
Now I know the code works. I have run it locally using the same SMTP machine and it worked fine with 500 records. Granted there was less content, but I can't see how that would make any difference.
I don't think the page itself times out, but even if it did, I was sure .Net would continue processing the page, even if the user saw a page time out error.
Is there any samples on how to use ASP.NET built-in templates out of the page, just for rendering text with params. For instance, to build email message.
I am using the ASP.NET membership provider controls (ChangePassword and PasswordRecovery) and they generally work just fine. Unfortunately they don't send any emails once the process is finished. I set up the SMTP server using the ASP.NET Configuration Website and it added the following lines to the web.config:
I also tried using the IP adress of the server instead of the domain. In addition to that I set the maildefinition properties on the used web controls:
<MailDefinition From="maildaemon@pagetailors.de" Subject="Your new password"> </MailDefinition>
Once I finish changing or resetting the password, the controls shows the success message. It does not show any errors but the mails are not sent. I also checked the SMTP log files on the server (it's a MailEnable server) but couldn't even find an attempt to send these messages. I am using a custom email helper class which manually sends an email using the following settings:
public static void SendEmail(string from, string to, string subject, string body) { SmtpClient mailClient = new SmtpClient(ConfigReader.GetStringValue("MailServer")); mailClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ConfigReader.GetStringValue("MailUsername"), ConfigReader.GetStringValue("MailPassword")); MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage(from, to, subject, body); mailClient.Send(mailMessage); }
The values for mailserver, username and password read from the config file are the same as defined in the ASP.NET configuration tool. These mails are delivered successfully.
I am writing an application that will need to send a massive amount of emails to our students who will be selected from our database (each email will be personalized to the extent that will include their name, course of study etc...so needs to be sent one at a time).
I could do this looping over an SmtpClient, but I'm afraid that with the numbers I'm trying to send, I'll ultimately run into timeout issues or my thread being killed because of lack of machine resources. if looping over SmtpClient is an ok solution, how I should go about handling it to prevent what I posted above.
i am developing a project wich sends massive amounts of emails. Lets say 200-300 emails per query. And each user can conduct multiple search querys. So at times it gets relly great number of emails to send.So this is what i need:1. a webservice with a fireAndForget type method, that i can pass in single or multiple email messages
