Connection open while sending Email with SmtpClient
-
hi, when sending mails using SmtpClient, does it open connection each time I do .Send() if yes how can i avoid it? If no what is the mechanism used to send Email. cheers

I dont think you mean to say that you need only 1 connection until all the mails you want to send are handed over ? If this is the case then you might be unhappy that there is no setting which can persist the connection. ( though i havent checked it myself, it is my perception )

yes i meant that. .send() is a blocking call. i need to send mails at one go with one connection, this is to get rid of Timeout wait in .Send() which takes place for each Mail that i need to send and if there are too many then its that much of wait for my application,

Yes, add the people to the "to" list. Instead of one email per recipient, add them to the recipient list, and send one email.
;P well thanks, but thats the way emails are already generated, with multiple To,CC addresses..

thanks, internally it will spawn a thread to do my work, this will definately fasten up things, but if i can get that single connection for sending mails it will be great SmtpConnection class is there but its not exposed otherwise i could have achived behaviour seamlessly.

You can also eliminate the round trip throught the server:
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost";
eMail.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing"]=1;
eMail.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverpickupdirectory"] = "C:\\Inetpub\\mailroot\\Pickup";
SmtpMail.Send(eMail); -
